The Author of the New York Times Bestseller “Team” Returns After 20 Years with a New Manual (Trailer)
10/08/2025
A book built on the principles of personal effectiveness that shows how to work better — together. “Team: How to Get Things Done Together” by David Allen and Edward Lamont explores how successful companies operate, what principles drive teamwork, and how to reduce workplace stress while fostering a culture where everyone can perform at their best.
The book was translated and published in Armenian by Newmag Publishing House with the initiative and support of Evocabank. It offers practical answers to two key questions:
How can the principles of personal productivity be applied at the team level?
And how can we build a culture where every employee wants to contribute their full potential?
In 2001, David Allen’s groundbreaking book “Getting Things Done” revolutionized the world of productivity and time management. The GTD (Getting Things Done) methodology became one of the most widely used systems in the world, helping millions of people organize their work and eliminate unnecessary stress. Translated into dozens of languages, the book became a bestseller in more than 30 countries.
Twenty years later, it became clear that these same principles are equally vital for teams. The most common question GTD followers asked was: How can we get an entire team to work effectively together?
“Team: Getting Things Done with Others” provides the answer — demonstrating how to take the proven tools of individual productivity and apply them to collective collaboration.

Description
Here’s a cleaner, more professional version:
David Allen’s 2001 classic, Getting Things Done, revolutionized how individuals think about work, time, and personal effectiveness. Two decades on, it’s clear those same principles are just as essential at the team level. The question GTD practitioners kept asking—“How do we put an entire team into motion?”—is the focus of this book.
Building on GTD’s foundations of clarity, control, and next-action thinking, the book translates individual productivity principles into practical, organization-wide habits. It outlines how to structure workflows, meetings, and communication so teams reduce friction, align priorities, and create a culture where people want—and are able—to perform at their best.
Drawing on case studies from leading global companies, it shows how executives and managers have embedded shared GTD practices to strengthen collaboration, improve internal communication, raise execution quality, and measurably lower stress across teams. The result is a clear, actionable playbook for turning proven theory into day-to-day partnership and high-trust, high-performance teamwork.
