Synopsis

Our work with hundreds of public and private sector groups and teams across the United States and Europe suggests that leaders need a practical, well-researched model for team building. The Rocket Model provides leaders with sound practical advice on how to improve group and team dynamics. The model is both descriptive and prescriptive - it can be used to diagnose team functioning and make specific recommendations regarding how to launch new teams or to improve the performance of more established teams.
