Few individual star performers, located in different pockets of the organization can never take it to the top. And as rightly mentioned by the author, you don’t get exceptional results just by putting all the superstars together. In today’s era, successful teams make successful organizations. It’s teamwork alone that can take organizations to incredible heights.
Building a winning team is a different ball game. The team has its own chemistry as well as a set of challenges. Only an experienced leader understands how to build a team that will skyrocket to incredible heights
In the beginning, the author urges you to have clarity on the expected outcome. She then states the seven essentials for the functioning of a high-performance team. In my opinion, they are the real gems. Any team that ticks all the seven objectives can become truly a dream team.
The seven objectives are not simply stated, but the author shows you the way to achieve them. When you read this book, what strikes you the most is the huge amount of work that has gone into it. Unlike many books that discuss topics superficially, this one is written with hard-earned experience and wisdom. In this book, you will find cases studies from the author’s personal experience, tables and flow charts. Everything written by the author in this book is something she has successfully practiced in her long and rich corporate career.
This is not one of those books that are to be read in one sitting and forgotten. This book, like a manual, is to be referred to throughout one’s corporate career.
To summarize, I would like to ask you a question – Do you want to lead or be part of a successful team? If your answer is yes, then this is the book for you.
