8 Lies of Teamwork
If you believe leadership is shared or that there is no "I" in team, you're a victim of the 8 Lies of Teamwork.
8 Lies of Teamwork exposes the myths surrounding teamwork and the sources of organization resistance that often prevent teamwork from succeeding. It provides a tested and proven teamwork foundation that sets teams free to overachieve.
In a unique approach to the topic, every chapter opens with a brief fairy tale, in which the views of the "wonderful wizard" and "petty sorcerers" introduce concepts. The book debunks much of what passes for team training. It teaches you the tools "petty sorcerers" use to undermine teamwork. It exposes the lies of teamwork, and lays them bare.
For each teamwork lie, the author offers a corresponding truth and guidance on how to successfully implement teamwork. Illustrative examples are drawn from interviews with over 100 CEO's and middle managers and from the author's 18 years experience as a management consultant.
