Drawing on bothquantitative and qualitative metrics, the authors craft a framework to createresults-oriented cultures around high-functioning teamwork. In today''s shiftinglandscape of knowledge workers, mobility, and flexible work arrangements, suchcultures can only be achieved by aligning, empowering, and motivating individuals todeliver strategic attitudes, behaviors, and results.
