Praise For…
Huszczo has a remarkable gift for telling the truth clearly and compassionately about the challenges that labor and management face when they try to organize into teams. His descriptions ought to inoculate intrepid innovators from the rigors they face, while the practical tools and exercises he presents should ensure that no one has to reinvent the wheel.—Maureen Sheahan, Director, UAWRegion 1A, IPS Labor-Management Council
As a human resource group we had been through every kind of training: You name it, we did it. Of all, only one program endured: Huszczo's team-building training. Years later, staff were still referring to his seven components of successful teams. It's not just a quick fix, but a strategy to building long-term superior performance with teams.—Penny Sharples, Manager, Training and Education, Victorian Administration, Australia Post
