Youre an industry consultant that frequently works with healthcare organizations to improve group performance. To improve team performance, its necessary to understand factors that prevent teams from reaching their full potential.  Conversely, when groups fail to function well, this can result in poor decision-making, decreased production, compromised quality, and can ultimately result in a companys inability to maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Youve decided to spend time analyzing the fall and recovery of HealthSouth with an emphasis on the leadership teams. Based on your analysis and subsequent findings, what are the key takeaways you can share with future clients when working with their leadership teams. You will be preparing a white paper to share with your consulting partners.
