environments adaptable enough to respond to shocks and still enable people to thrive together?
How can you feel close to people if your only point of contact is a phone or a computer? In The

come together to offer a primer on great team working. They explain what size groups work and
how to shape them according to the nature of the task at hand. They offer practical hints on
how to diffuse tensions and encourage cooperation. And they demonstrate the vital importance of
balancing unity and the need for different views and outlooks. By explaining precisely how the
'social brain' works  they show how human groups function and how to create great 
high-performing teams. _____________________________________ 'This wonderful book reminds us
