How NASA builds teams: mission critical soft skills for scientists, engineers, and project teams

Developed over 15 years by one of NASAs lead astrophysicists, the book and accompanying soft skills assessment questionnaire (included in the book and available free online), is a powerful, proven system to build high performing teams. It is widely used by NASA astronauts, Space Shuttle crew members, Space Station teams, and engineering teams as a rigorous, measurement-based, techie-friendly approach to improving communication, motivation, and soft skills. Each chapter describes key elements of an effective teambuilding system, based on the free assessment tool included in the book, which can be taken by each memberof your team. In the 4-D System, 4-D is shorthand for the Four Dimensions that measure and enhance teams and their members. The Four Dimensions are Including/Relating, Cultivating/Valuing, Visioning/Creating, and Directing/Organizing.
