Abstract
High‐performance work teams can lead to higher productivity, better quality, and a close focus by workers on what organizations really are supposed to be doing. Yet a majority of organizations have still not implemented this team approach. Presents an integrated model that details the “how to” steps of introducing high‐performance work systems. This model has been successfully implemented at a Fortune 500 company in the office furniture industry.
