An all-new guide to building and sustaining high performing teams
Winning is a team sport, right? True, we need to collaborate to make sense of today's challenges. But simply bringing people together is no guarantee of success. Too often, so-called teams are just groups of individuals, attending too many aimless meetings. It doesn't have to be that way. Using the author's high-performing teams framework, Are You a Team or a Meeting? shows team leaders and members alike how to: * create teams of the right size and composition * focus on team purpose to help you prioritise * encourage healthy challenge and open communication * develop systems, habits and behaviours that help teams win
A brilliant, practical guide on how to make teamwork work again -- Steve Martin, bestselling author of Yes!
Refreshingly practical - it challenged me to move beyond running meetings and inspired me to build a team with real purpose, trust, and results -- Paddy Hull, Senior Director Global Talent & Leadership at Heineken
Hope is at hand with this excellent book by Nick Pope. . . I thoroughly recommend it for team leaders working in any sector, and for team coaches -- Professor Peter Hawkins best-selling author of Systemic Coaching
Dr Nick Pope's wry observations of what a team actually is and what can so easily go wrong will have you smiling in recognition. He's certainly put in the hours - deep academic research as well working with over a thousand teams across fifty different countries - and it really shows. His highly practical insights into how to make collaboration (which goes beyond cooperation) real and effective should be read by anyone who is - or wants to be - a leader -- Neil Mullarkey, author of In The Moment
