AB Section  III  (Chapter  13,  14,  15,  16,  and  17)  presents  ideas  for  improving  teams  and  teamwork.  It  assumes  that  teams  are  present  and  regarded  as  standard  practice  in  organizations.  In  many  organizations,  however,  this  is  not  the  case—in  fact,  organizational  policies  and  practices  often  work  against  rather  than  promote  the  success  of  teamwork.  Senior  leaders  of  these  organizations  are  responsible  for  creating  the  cultures  and  structures  in  which  teams  thrive  and  also  for  providing  needed  resources  for  teams  to  succeed.  In  this  section  of  the  book,  we  first  (in  Chapter  18)  provide  guidelines  for  senior  leaders  committed  to  improving  team  presence  and  performance  in  their  organizations.  Then  in  Chapter  19  we  discuss  the  potential  for  a  future  in  which  teamwork  is  expected  and  rewarded  throughout  the  healthcare  sector.
