Based on the principles followed by Boeing and Mulally in the 777 project, "Working Together provides hands-on details for successfully managing projects, teams, and organizations, and the techniques and strategies that executives and managers can implement to consistently achieve projectexcellence."Working together," Boeing's guiding philosophy, is more than just a program-of-the-month, or a catchy slogan.

For managers of all enterprises from ten employee enterprises to 10,000, the answers it provides are direct, refreshing, and proven effective in some of today's most grueling, competitive project environments.
