Book's Description
"Everyone who works with people is realizing that the old autocratic method of leadership simply doesn’t work. The way to win is to build a great team.
John C. Maxwell has been teaching the benefits of leadership and team building for years. Now he tackles the importance of teamwork head on, writing about teamwork being necessary for every kind of leader, and showing how team building can improve every area of your life.
Written in the style of the bestseller The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, this new book not only contains laws that you can count on when it comes to getting people to work together, but it tells them in such a way that you can start applying them to your own life today. And it’s illustrated with great stories of team leaders—and team breakers—from history, business, the church, and sports.

I think ALL of John Maxwell's books are awesome and this one is no exception. He has a way of explaining how to address issues that makes it seem so simple to execute. A great book!

The "laws" are indisputable for a reason ,12/06/2005
From the favorable reviews, I assumed that this would be an informative book. However, this is not the case. I learned very little in the course of reading the book, and here is why:
The laws are obvious. Anyone who has ever been part of a team and given even a little thought as to what elements make a team function well will be unsurprised by the list. The reason that the author says the laws are "indisuptable," is that the laws are so obvious that anyone can see that they seem to generally hold.
Don't waste your time with this book. Instead, check out "First, Break all the Rules," which is an innovative work that addresses management issues (including teamwork).

Good mix of factoids, inspiration and leadership pointers ,18/07/2006
Building on the successful formula of his earlier work, author John C. Maxwell (The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership) has delineated 17 "laws" for managers who want to develop successful teams. That number may be arbitrary, but Maxwell successfully uses his laws as a springboard to weave together inspiring tales from Navy Seals, mountain climbers, Colin Powell, George Washington, Jimmy Carter, major league coaches and others into punchy chapters that any aspiring leader can use. This book provides the right mix of factoids, inspiration and leadership pointers to make it a bestseller. Even better, coaches and leaders who use these tips should be able to build better teams. We recommend this book to coaches, mentors and team leaders.

The Leadership Centre Says ,16/03/2005
As An Executive Coach, Management Team Builder and Leadership Development Trainer I contracted to coach a cost improvement team for six months. This simple book helped the team members (non of them managers) to understand and apply the principles of working as part of a team (which was in essence a task force to recommend change). Management was thrilled with the results and six months later the team is still making excellent recommendations and has introduced new team members to the process and (on their own)to Maxwell's book.

17 Laws of Teamwork ,01/03/2008
Definately recommend this book to everyone! If you want to know ways to build team leadership, this is the book for you. I has different "Laws" that you can use on at a time, or combine them together. I really enjoyed this book, (was for course work) but I recommended it to my pastor and church leaders to reference and use.
Also used "The Power of Team Leadership" by Barna. Recommend both books as great resources for every Christian leader.
