Wake up and Smell the Coffee: The Imperative of Teams by Dr. Simon MacRory is about the deconstruction of the traditional workplace hierarchy, the abandonment of performance appraisal, the impact of Millenials that all point to a substantial revival of teams and teamwork for the first time in more than 20 years.

This book is based on the TDP methodology and the years of research completed by the author.
