Part Three shows how to implement teaming on an organizational level and offers three case studies that examine different potential learning outcomes, including process improvement, problem solving, and innovation. The book also includes: Exhibits and bulleted lists containing critical strategies, definitions, and distinctions Tables outlining specific leadership strategies that reflect best practices assembled through decades of extensive research Sidebars that add context to salient ideas and provide additional resources  Vignettes and real-world examples that help illustrate key lessons and stimulate reflection Chapter-ending summary sections to help readers review critical concepts
