'How Angry Birds Made Me a Better Manager' color paper from Sonar6 illustrates the importance of coaching and managing teams

Auckland, New Zealand 29 April 2011 — While performance reviews and coaching guidelines typically address individual achievement, team performance is a bigger contributor to the overall success of an organization and should be encouraged. Sonar6’s new color paper ‘How Angry Birds Made Me a Better Manager’ uses lessons from the massively popular Angry Birds games to illustrate how a team-based approach to coaching and management leads to positive outcomes.
