Would you agree that if every member of your team was great, your teamwork would be extraordinary? Everyone knows that remarkable teamwork equals remarkable results. That's why organizations spend so much time and money on team-building and team-development activities. However, few teams succeed in actually improving their teamwork because team members have little commitment to the team or its outcomes. Egos, money, and personal aspirations get in the way of effective teamwork; this results in selfishness, little trust, lack of constructive peer feedback, negativity (including gossip), lack of respect and kindness among teammates, and little interest in becoming better. The sad reality is that many team members are performing far below what they are capable of achieving, and consequently, they hold their teams back from being extraordinary. You Are the Team was written with the purpose of moving teammates from good to great by improving their investment and commitment to the team. Most of the pressure for improving teamwork has been placed on team leaders. That's why a quick search on "leadership books" on Amazon.com provides 14,782 results.
