THE ECOLOGY OF THE NEW EXECUTIVE TEAM

摘要

For both profit and nonprofit organizations, today's challenging environment calls for their top leadership groups to function as high-performance teams rather than as collections of heads of subunits. The members need to be talented, competent individuals, of course, but they also need to be functioning in a physical setting that promotes high-level teamwork. The last 30 years or so have seen many experiments in new workplace design, with aims such as improving communication, using space more efficiently, enhancing teamwork, and increasing the flexibility of work styles.
