Learning for Success How Team Learning

Learning For Success explores the relationship between team performance and team learning based both on theory and on real-world projects. Authors Peter Storm, Chantal Savelsbergh and Ben Kuipers contend that most projects have two different, but complementary, aims: to perform and to learn. Learning enhances the team's and project's performance, but good performance also makes the team want to become even better - which compels the team members to actively seek ways of improving. So what affects team learning, positively or negatively, and what can team leaders and managers do about it? Read how work-related (or role) stress plays a major part. In particular:
