ASIN: 0810823152 |
Book Description
1925. With an introduction by William J. Henderson. With 64 illustrations. A history of music for young people. They have surveyed the entire field, touching on ancient music and the music of nations not usually considered in some more pretentious histories. It is a bird's-eye view of the art as practiced by all the civilized and some of the uncivilized races of the earth. They have shown how the supreme art forms and the greatest art works developed among the western European peoples, who, it is interesting to note, produced also the metaphysical and philosophical bases of the world's scientific thought, the mightiest inventions, and with all regard for Buddhistic poetry and speculation, the highest achievements in literature.

More a pamphlet than a book.......1999-05-24
There are 14 2-page topics. If you know how to do them, then this would be a great reminder. If you don't know how to do them, the guidance is limited. This looks more like one of the handouts for a presentation or short course that the authors' company teaches.
Seriously disappointing.
Book Description
In school and later as business professionals, learners will be asked to join teams. These may be permanent, high-powered, self-managed work teams or special-purpose groups that meet only long enough to tackle a specific problem. No matter what the team situation, this text helps readers build the vital skills to maximize individual contribution, understand team roles, overcome conflict, negotiate solutions, evaluate outcomes, and think creatively. This guided process is a productive team experience that yields high-performance results - results that can be replicated in team settings in the workplace.

A must read for managers.......2007-02-03
Reviewed by Cherie Fisher for Reader Views (01/07)
The "Ten Commitments for Building High Performance Teams" has lots of valuable management advice packed into 82 pages. Tom Massey, the author, heads each chapter with one of the 10 commitments needed for building a successful team. The author promises in the introduction "The ten commitments outlined in this book will help you get the right people in the right positions to develop a focused, values driven, high performance team." Massey asks you to read the book all the way through and then read each commitment separately and incorporate it before moving onto the next commitment. Each chapter also has a practical applications section that includes questions and activities pertinent to applying that section.
The 10 Commitments are as follows:
1. Commit to getting the right people "on the bus." Take the time to really think about the qualities, skills and needs that each job requires before making the hiring decision.
2. Commit to getting everyone on the same page. A team can only be effective if it's has a common goal and vision.
3. Commit to creating a learning environment. Investing in your team can create an environment that will lead to success.
4. Commit to sharing the profits and losses. A team will feel vested in a business and strive harder when they can also enjoy the profits.
5. Commit to turning around poor performance. Poor performance has to be turned around or it can bring down the whole team.
6. Commit to dancing with "those that brought you." This is very important chapter on loyalty - yours, as well as the team.
7. Commit to playing to win. You have to be able to move your team through fear to develop a winner's attitude.
8. Commit to growing through adversity. Conflict is a part of team work. Accept it and teach your team to work through it.
9. Commit to having fun. High performance teams typically have high productivity, creativity and morale. The bottom line is they have fun.
10. Commit to playing large. It has to be more than just a job for a team to be successful. Give them purpose.
The book is written in a straightforward common-sense approach. I highly recommend "Ten Commitments for Building High Performance Teams" for those of you in management or contemplating going into management. I plan to immediately implement these commitments into my team at work.
Building a High Performance Championship Team.......2006-04-27
Tom Massey has given us a ten commitment strategy for getting the right people in the right position to build a vision focused, values based, purpose driven, service oriented high performance team.
The format from the table of contents to the final chapter stimulates thought provoking reading. The book is designed to be read quickly for an overview. A second reading is necessary to digest, and assimilate the principles introduced. Each chapter closes with a set of questions and activities for application to assist the team leader in implementing and applying these principles effectively.
The book is forceful and straightforward, an excellent tool for integrating your purpose statement, goals, objectives and performance. Massey's thoughtful analysis and creative thinking can be applied in every business setting.
The author stresses the importance of committing to a learning environment. He gives pointers for action based strategic leadership training and step by step instructions to equip your team.
Massey is recognized as a distinguished innovative corporate leadership trainer and coach. He has authored three other cutting edge books in the business/self help genre.
This is a significant management resource tool for equipping the busy business executive. I recommend the book for every manager who wants to sharpen the focus of their team, and for "anyone who aspires to leave the world a better place."
Book Description
Building Smart Teams is an essential guide to creating a smart team fast. Based on research results from close to 2,000 individuals organized in more than 250 teams,
Building Smart Teams identifies the three critical skill sets that teams need and shows how to transfer these skills to a group. The authors’ research and experience shows that, by concentrating on these three critical skills sets, a group is almost certain to become a high performing team quickly.
High-functioning teams are increasingly important to organizational success, but just throwing a team together will not give the desired results.
Building Smart Teams gives you the theory and rationale behind high performance teams, but, in addition, it is packed with exercises, diagnostic tools, tips, and techniques to use with groups. The exercises are time-tested with the more than 100 groups trained by the authors.
The approach is not to dictate the one best way for teams to behave, but, rather, to help team members build skills and implement processes to increase success. Within this model, there is ample room for teams to discover their own unique culture, performance strategies, and paths to success.
Key Features:
Team Effectiveness Model was developed from research into the factors that lead to team success—over 250 teams were studied
Provides both theory and tools to get smart, fast results
Identifies the three critical success factors for high team performance and provides a diagnostic tool to assess levels of team functioning for each
Many targeted processes and exercises that team leaders can apply to enhance team functioning
Provides both the road map for creating effective teams (the Team Effectiveness Model) as well as the vehicles for getting there (exercises and process tools)

Mission and Vision: Defining it and articulating it.......2000-08-18
This book is a "must have" for all managers: young and old, mature and just beginning.
For new managers, the book contains essential guidelines for establishing a vision, communicating the mission, and securing buy-in of your team members. It will help the new manager communicate effectively and establish confidence with the team.
For the mature manager (read "aged" manager), this book augments your "home-grown" techniques with many new ideas. I found the book re-inforced my "home-grown" style and augmented it with new ideas.
A Must Read!.......2000-01-19
Once again Wolf Rinke provides readers with the necessary steps to succeed... this is the second book I have read of his. It is well written, easy to understand and follow... and perhaps most importantly - easy to implement so that gaining the highest performance becomes reality. Wolf Rinke's strategies for success are second to none!
Superb book for managers.......2000-01-17
Wolf Rinke's latest book is a great addition to his collection of well-received books and and personal improvement products. "Winning Management" clearly shows the reader what must be done to excel in management. This is a practical guide to success on the job and can be used easily by any supervisor at any level of an organization. My copy is well-used!
Having seen Dr. Rinke present his strategies for success as a seminar leader and author, and also having heard the outcomes of his plans of action, I know that he can positively and quickly affect your success at work.
A terrific book that provides straight forward guidance........1997-11-19
As a mid-level manager for one of the country's premier communication organizations (Motorola), I found Rinke's book invaluable. His approach to teaching and coaching blends with our culture beautifully. It leads you on a practical, common sense journey that can be implemented everyday and easily taught to your team members. "Winning Management" has now become a cornerstone of our philosophies...you can find it on the desk of most managers. Thank You, Wolf!
