"People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society." - Vince Lombardi

As engineering projects become more complex, more and more of them are being managed by teams rather than by one person. Teams typically are not formally established, but are informally brought together from different centers or directorates to cover one project, and as informally taken apart afterwards. This bibliography covers different facets of teams in the workplace, including team building, performance, and the problems faced by teams whose members are all in different places.

All items are available at the Headquarters Library, except as noted. NASA Headquarters employees and contractors: call (358-0172) or email Library@hq.nasa.gov for information on borrowing or in-library use of any of these items. Members of the public, contact your Local Library for the availibilty of these items. NASA Headquarters employees can request additional materials or research on this topic. The Library welcomes your comments or suggestions about this webpage.
