"Have you ever been on a team where the talent was strong, but the team wasn't very good? On the flip side, have you ever been on a team where not every single member was a rock star, but something about the team just worked? We've all had these types of experiences. And yet, it can be difficult to understand what makes one team successful and another one not. In this book, Mike Robbins dives deep into the ways great teams build trust, collaborate, and perform at the highest level. As an expert in teamwork, leadership, and emotional intelligence, Mike draws on more than 18 years' experience working with top teams and organizations like Google and Microsoft, as well as his athletic career for the Kansas City Royals. The book's core principles include fostering an environment of psychological safety, honoring diversity and inclusion, addressing and navigating conflict, building trust, and maintaining a balance of healthy expectations and empathy. Also features interviews with high-level business leaders and thought leaders to provide insights into an ever-changing workplace culture"-- Provided by publisher.
