Self-directed work teams : An 18-month review

Visionaries are individuals who imagine how the ideal practice should be setup. Realists view practices the way they are actually setup. To bring these individuals together toward a common goal is what self-directed work teams can provide your practice. A powerful manager is one who can distinctively capture the creativity of the visionary, and the reality of the realist. One who has the ability to channel those ideas into what becomes the vision of the practice. Components that make up a self-directed work team are reviewed.
