Why do good teams fail? Often, it's because they are looking inward instead of outward. This book argues that traditional team models are falling short, and what's needed - and what works - is an approach that emphasizes external outreach to stakeholders, extensive ties, expandable tiers, and flexible membership. These new X-teams not only more adaptable, but can also improve an organization's ability to produce creative ideas and execute them-increasing the entrepreneurial and innovative capacity.
