Foreword
The purpose of this book is to help you to understand how to; Form, Build and Manage teams in the corporate world. To do this I have demonstrated key management tools that enable you to understand a company’s behaviour and how individuals and teams fit into the organisation structure. With an understanding of the company’s approach to business I used tools to show how you can demonstrate and map the company’s; Leadership, Strategy, Culture and Market aspects within a context.
Understanding both internal and external aspects effecting a company enables you to look at how groups of employees work within the company, how they can be managed and what needs to done to ensure continued success supports the company’s forecasted targets.
Throughout the book I have cut all the excessive and unnecessary waffle between management tools and cut to the crux of academic tools that have proven success to work along with working examples throughout the chapters.
The chapters in the book build upon the knowledge from the previous chapter and by the end of the book you will see how to marry up the different tools in a building process step by step. With case studies and working examples you will be able to formulate an objective and management working philosophy towards teams in a company and sustaining the company’ success irrespective of the differing industries.

Note From Author:
My interest in Corporate Finance stems more from the principles of what works in practice and can be implement across differing industry platforms and climates. A lot of the Management Tool research has shown what works in one environment may not always work with differing conditions. The crux of this has lead to cutting a lot of the management jargon. Highlighted in this book are the key management tools that have the strength and success to work when applied in differing situation. No matter the political climate, economic conditions (either boom or recession), the technological advances, these tools will work in varied conditions.

Team Management – Introduction
Before you can understand appropriate team dynamics for a company you must be able to explain what type of corporate dynamics exist in a company. It is no good just confirming the product or service.
This book will address 7 chapters. The chapters will develop your knowledge towards understanding team dynamics. The progressive understanding of the key tools will enable you to get an overall picture of an organisation and the potential ability to develop Team Management.
Chapter 1 will first look at how you understand the company. What it's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats are. To imagine you can manage a work force, or a team, irrespective of the size of the company, without having an idea of the company’s internal abilities would be short sighted.
Chapter 2 will expand on this knowledge by looking at the external factors that will impact on the company. Understanding the internal working is important, but the potential impact of exteral aspects are as important too.
Chapter 3 will look at the soft management topic of Culture. Through the first two chapters you will have looked at both internal and external aspects of management and how culture impacts on the company and the effects that can stem from that.
Chapter 4 will take the understanding of the company and put it a contextualized approach so that you can converse, document and justify the team dynamic approach you take towards a company by mapping the relationship between the Market place, the Strategy, the Leadership and Culture of the company.
Chapter 5 will show that Team Management should not be taken for granted. Understanding the direction of the company is all well and good but if you are not harmonizing with your Workforce the Leadership approach may be counterproductive. So understanding the Corporate Harmony is an important step to developing a comprehensive corporate team approach.
Chapter 6 Team Success will be demonstrated with a simple tool that enables you to chart and document the success of a Team’s. This looks at teams from a direct approach. While we looked at the company from a broad spectrum understanding its positive and negative attributes, the team dynamics start to look at individuals and departmental areas. The emergence of the two successfully enables a company to achieve its desired goals.
Chapter 7 The ability to look at the grand scheme of the company's goals and targets and at the same time look at individual’s needs and goals while ensuring the team dynamics are on track. The ability to understand the company's Strategy, how it fits in the Market Place, the Leadership direction along with the Culture of the company and combining that with the team management by balancing act of the Individual, the Team Build and the Goal orientations
