Instructors assign group projects and expect teamwork, but rarely teach the structure, roles, and habits that make it work — and too often, neither did anyone else. One or two people end up carrying the load while the rest disengage, meetings run long without producing decisions, and the final submission comes together in a last-minute scramble.

From Group Work to Teamwork is a practical, step-by-step guide to fixing that. Drawing on years of teaching management, leadership, and teamwork at the graduate level, Ken Haycock lays out the structures successful teams actually use: a one-page charter written in the first week, clear roles that keep work visible, a meeting pattern that produces decisions instead of just discussion, and a fair way to handle conflict and uneven contribution before they derail the project.

Whether you are forming your first team or trying to rescue one already underway, this book gives you the steps, templates, and language to turn group work into real teamwork — and to finish with something you are proud to submit.
