The reality is that critical decisions are typically made by the boss and a small group of confidants--a team with no name--outside of formal processes. Meanwhile, other members of the management team wonder why they weren't in the room or even consulted ahead of time. The dysfunction that results from this gap between myth and reality has led to years of unproductive team building exercises. The problems, Frisch shows, are ones of process and structure, not psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWho's in the Room?\u003c\/i\u003e Bob Frisch provides a unique perspective to this widely misunderstood issue. Flying in the face of decades of organizational psychology, he argues that the solution lies not in addressing behaviors, but in unseating the senior management team as the epicenter of decision making. Using a broad portfolio of teams--large and small, permanent and temporary, formal and informal--great leaders match each decision to the appropriate team in a fluid, flexible approach that you won't find described in management textbooks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWho's in the Room?\u003c\/i\u003e is based on interviews with CEOs at organizations ranging from MasterCard to Ticketmaster to The Red Cross.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand and embrace the way decision-making actually happens in their organizations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUse these teams with no names to best advantage\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEngage the Senior Management Team in the three critical tasks for which it is ideally suited \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eOrganizations will get better decisions and superior results by unleashing the full potential of their Senior Management Teams.
