I had the pleasure of using this textbook in a recent class and found the information and theories contained in it very informational and inspiring. Working and leading teams is a very important ability in today's smaller organizational environments and becoming compatible both in participating with knowledge and leading effectively will provide many opportunities for growth and progress for the willing participant.
