That was the background against which I decided to write the first edition of Team Roles at Work, published in 1993. The second group was made up of active practitioners, especially those charged with the urgent need of improving results from small project teams or new business ventures. The first comprised those who work in management education, including industrial trainers. The level of interest shown related to two broad groups of people. A new way of describing roles and relationships at work had gradually percolated into the wider language of industry and so created its own momentum. Preface It was a matter of surprise for me and my publishers that my earlier book Management Teams: Why They Succeed or Fail should have reached its peak in sales 9 years after being first published.
