Lessons from the Hanoi Hilton

Six Characteristics of High-Performance Teams

Beschreibung

Why were the American POWs imprisoned at the "Hanoi Hilton” so resilient in captivity and so successful in their subsequent careers? This book presents six principles practiced within the POW organisational culture that can be used to develop high-performance teams everywhere. It offers examples from both the POWs' time in captivity and their later professional lives that identify, in real-life situations, the characteristics necessary for sustainable, high-performance teamwork.
