I came across this book in 2006, 5 years after its publication. Yet it is so current - the described characteristics of a high performance team help me apply immediately in a real world and global project environment. Using Flight 232 as a story line help us mentally linked to the principles and make the book an interesting read. The "Team Wheel", "Message to Team Leader", Figures and Diagrams are all very useful. Highly recommended for anyone who had or had not read "The Wisdom of Teams".
