Description

The streets are not the only battleground for turf wars. While they don't (usually) use guns or knives, corporate "gangs" often fight as bitterly over territory as any street gang - & inflict lasting damage upon themselves & their organizations. For those who must try to prevent corporate "rumbles" & build a spirit of intracompany cooperation, TURF WARS: Moving from Competition to Collaboration provides practical advice & sensible cures to the negative effects of internal competition. Rich in humor, anecdotes, & common sense, this how-to guide examines the causes & effects of turf wars in a fresh, readable manner. Veteran consultant & psychologist Harvey Robbins explains how to encourage employees to compete with the outside, not with each other. He provides strategies & techniques for fostering cross-functional alliance - techniques proven effective through his work with numerous major corporations. Left unresolved, turf wars eat away at the morale & productivity of any organization. By following the advice set forth in Wars: Moving from Competiton to Collaboration, you'll help make your company a far more effective & pleasant place to work.
