Book tip: Tasks & Teams - The new formula for better collaboration

There are many new, even radical approaches to leadership, collaboration and the breaking up of existing organizational structures.

It is still an ongoing project, but the combination of down-to-earth practicality and radical rethinking makes this book an extremely interesting read for anyone who has problems with departmental thinking and entrenched structures, finds getAbstract.
