Explain why team based structure at home depot is so successful?

Answer 1

Implementing a team-based approach to organizational structure can empower employees and increase cooperation among different skills and disciplines. According to Shonk, organizations typically run into problems by trying to force the team approach into the existing corporate structure.

In Team-Based Organizations, Shonk shows how to structure and manage an organization built around the team concept. While pointing out the many advantages of a team-based approach, he also identifies some pitfalls and how to avoid them. He makes effective use of diagrams and checklists to illustrate his points, and relies on case studies and examples to demonstrate the value of the team approach in actual situations.

The book serves as a how-to desk guide on the entire team-management concept. There are chapters on the different types of teams, how to initiate the team concept, what types of special training may be necessary, and keys to success of the team style of management.
