| Summary |
"How many problems at work arise from the way in which jobs are set up? Either people don't have a clear understanding of their duties and responsibilities, spending time and energy disentangling them from those of their co-workers, or they are hemmed in by job specifications that allow no room for movement and initiative." "An alternative system is needed, where jobs can grow and develop: where communication about work can flow up as easily as down. Dr. Belbin describes a radical approach incorporating colour-coding and information technology derived from experiments now being undertaken in three countries. Workset is a new means of delivering greater efficiency in a dynamic process that equally involves managers and jobholders."--BOOK JACKET |
