Argues that it is not a leader's management style that determines how well a team performs, but how well a leader designs and supports a team so that members can manage themselves. Formulas and prescribed leadership styles often backfire because they place far too much emphasis on the leader as the primary cause of team behavior. Identifies the key conditions that any leader can put in place to increase the likelihood of team success-regardless of his or her personality or preferred style of operating. Discusses five conditions that set the stage for great performances: a real team, a compelling direction, an enabling team structure, a supportive organizational context, and the availability of competent coaching. Outlines what leaders can do to structure, support, and guide teams in a way that enhances the social processes essential to collective work.
