Running a successful business involves people, processes and products. This book is about the people - written to support teams. Ten years ago, Team Clock: A Guide to Breakthrough Teams was designed to introduce a model for effective teaming. That book was the "why." This book is the "how." The research is clear: Effective teams have common themes. There's an investment in a meaningful mission and clear norms to guide the team toward that goal. Conflict is navigated constructively. Trust creates a bond of collaboration. Psychological safety and an appreciation of differences supports innovation. Change and growth are managed with resilience. The 4 Stages of a Team: How teams thrive...and what to do when they don't will share action strategies for both immediate impact and long-term culture-building.
