Publisher's summary

Great teams are built and maintained with great intention, though they can make it look deceptively easy. Too many teams engage in dysfunctional behaviors or fall into territorialism, apathy, and unproductive relationships. The result? An overwhelmed, unengaged, and stressed-out workforce that settles for average or poor performance.

Here, four authors with a combined century of management experience show listeners how every team can be extraordinary. The authors introduce their field-tested Loyalist Team 3D assessment that allows anyone to get to the heart of why teams break down, identify the weaknesses in their own team, and build a Loyalist Team. This kind of team has members who ensure each other's success as they work to ensure their own, operate with absolute candor, and value loyalty and authenticity to deliver results, create a healthy work environment, and help companies succeed.

The Loyalist Team is a must-listen for anyone who wants their team to achieve extraordinary results.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

The team every body should want

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, the way the book is readed it brings characters and situation alive.

What did you like best about this story?

The way it lays out the good, bad, ugly and then a solution.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It actually turned the light on myself and how I have been a member of all the identified teams. As I move forward my intention will be to be a loyalist team member or leader.

book runs very Short about organizational behaviou

the book explains only the emotional part of teams. there's much more to have a team working properly then what is explained in this book. this is more like this is the way I would help you with your organizational challenge rather than a comprehensive approach to management.

redundant

a bit too repetitive but makes valuable points. chapters 8 and 9 are the most important.
