Summary: Definite overview
Review: This book probably delivers what it offers: teambuilding in less than an hour. I had the distinct feeling I was flipping through a seminar workbook. If you give team building seminars and can add substance to the text, this may be a book for you. I guess this could be helpful if you're need to brush up on teams.

If you're looking for in-depth reading and research on teams and team-building, this isn't the book for you.
