title: Teambuilding: it starts at the top--of a tree?
abstract: Management experts say that teamwork begins at the top--with senior executives. For senior executives at the Saddleback Memorial Medical Center, Laguna Hills, CA, teamwork improvement started last March at the top of a tall pine tree. The Saddleback team's deeds of daring were part of a sophisticated four-and-a-half-day training session at a special camp in the California mountains. The program challenged the hospital group to move beyond its current levels of teamwork.
