Team management has become extremely crucial these days owing to the work environment and increasing competition. Although it is important and required in almost every kind of workspace there is not much reliable and practical information available about it. This book by Clint Padgett is a lot different though. He himself is the CEO of Project Success Inc. This clearly reflects in this book and the tactics given in it.

The book clearly defines the impact efficient teamwork has on the success of any organization. The language is intelligible and all the techniques given are practical. Through this book, I realized how misunderstood managing teamwork is and how it can be easily managed if known the right techniques. Everybody looking to hone their team management skills should definitely give it a try.

How Teams Triumph: Managing By Commitment by amazing author Clinton M. Padgett is an interesting and valuable book that any project manager should read if they want their projects to be successful.

Padgett says that as project managers, we should take what already works on our teams, and apply the principles detailed in this book to help us maximize the performance of it.

I have already been following most of his advice and my projects had turned to be very successful. I liked that the author himself had added some hints from his own professional experiences.

This is a book that can't be ignored because the quality it provides is of high value. Insightful and inspirational, this book is one that must be read by all, especially in an era where business can’t afford to fail. I highly recommend reading it!

For project managers
Clinton M. Padgett gave birth to his book called How Teams Triumph: Managing by Commitment, which he wrote from scratch bearing in mind his own personal past experiences.
Although there is no just one truth or one path that can take everyone to the same finale, I believe the advice the author shares with his reader is worth considering. Besides, he transmits his view in a clear way, making it understandable for everyone.
I believe the business world is highly competitive and that reading this book can make the difference and give tools to the audience. As the saying goes, knowledge does not occupy space so reading this book can only mean a plus.

Outlining what you need to know and how to achieve it makes this book stand out among other team-building books. His diagrams and graphs clarify the information he is trying to get across.
