Why you should read The Secret of Teams

How hard do you have to work to create high-performance teams among your employees? Team-building expert Mark Miller answers that question and spells out the essentials in this office parable in which one dedicated executive sets out to find the secret of superb teamwork. As it turns out, creating great teams is a doable deed, but you have to be willing and able to undergo change, and you need three crucial ingredients: talent, skills and a shared sense of community. Miller, vice president of training and development at the Chick-fil-A chain of restaurants, demonstrates how to get everyone together, productively. He craftily uses the device of novelized business advice (an ugly thing in the wrong hands) to tell a useful story with a seasoning of personality. getAbstract recommends Miller’s warm team-building parable to managers, team leaders and HR professionals.

    Another great business fable featuring Debbie Brewster (from The Secret: What Great Leaders Know and Do.) There is a great progression for those people who are striving to become a better leader and then trying to raise the level of the entire team.
    “The more decisions a leader makes, the further he or she is from leading a high performing team.”
