It's so true that Douglas McGregor had real insight into the motivations of the average worker, as well as the characteristics that help managers lead more effectively. He understood that a management model which fosters employee engagement, empowerment, and "ownership" of company concerns, objectives, and mission are almost magical motivators to improved performance.
Thanks so much for your comment!

Susan,
Several of the resources I've provided in this guide have defined self-directed work teams. Perhaps their definitions weren't as comprehensive as you would have liked, but I suspect that the topic would be covered in greater depth in their instructional materials or by their consulting services.
The main purpose of a Work.com guide is to point the reader to resources which answer questions and provide tools to help with a particular topic. Unfortunately, there simply isn't enough space to provide in-depth information about the topic itself within the guide. That's the function of the links provided in each action step. (I do apologize that a few of the pertinent videos seem to have been discontinued since the guide was written.)
Thanks so much for your comment!

Jeanne
