The long-awaited sequel to David Allen’s global bestseller “Getting Things Done” has been published, this time as a manual for teams. The co-authors of the book are David Allen and Edward Lamont.
Like the author’s previous work, “Team: Getting Things Done with Others” has been published in Armenian by Newmag, with Evocabank as the main sponsor.
The presentation was held at the Getting Things Done conference, organized in honor of Evocabank’s 35th anniversary. Edward Lamont, co-author of the book, along with three internationally recognized speakers—T.J. Power, Dr. Nashater Deu Solheim, and Timothy Armoo—shared their research on the challenges and well-being of modern individuals in the digital age.
The panelists discussed the functioning of teams and individuals, focusing on strategies for effective work. Edward Lamont highlighted the main principles of the book:
“The most important thing for a leader is to do what other team members cannot. There are tasks that team members can handle themselves, and there are tasks that only a leader can perform. Effectiveness comes when resources are distributed correctly, and the right people are assigned to the right roles. Team members should know their responsibilities without constant monitoring, and leaders should focus on enabling their teams rather than micromanaging.”
Lamont also emphasized the importance of trust within teams and creating a stable and predictable environment.
“In addition to individual effectiveness, team effectiveness is crucial. We live in a team-oriented era. No matter how talented or successful an individual is, the success of a team requires full participation and collaboration. Our book focuses on this. Unfortunately, sociological data show that more than 80% of employees are often not fully engaged in teamwork.”
Edward Lamont congratulated Evocabank on its 35th anniversary and thanked Newmag Publishing House for the Armenian translation of their book. Team: Getting Things Done with Others has already been published in ten languages worldwide.

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.
