In this important text, Malcolm Payne shows how team members in care services can use networking and teambuilding to strengthen their practice by being open to work with wider networks of agencies, professionals and service users. He brings traditional team development up-to-date, including perspectives from research, from management ideas and from professional writings. Each chapter contains a concise account of new ideas in teamwork, practical guidance on teambuilding and teambuilding activities for team members.
