Team development is a process that can be understood and managed, with distinct stages, highlights and goals. It is also flexible and adaptable.
This book delves into each stage, examining team members’ attitudes, team structures and the leadership models. The author redefines conflict as a driver for change, explores
team management as a creative process (as studied in his former book), introduces the principles of non-violent communication, and analyzes common dysfunctions.
Finally, guidelines are developed for leading teams through the different stages, addressing the definition of priorities, value definition, leadership techniques, expectation
management, pitfalls to avoid and effective communication for each of them. A  planification of the maturation process is proposed, along with practical tools.
