In reality, they undermine each other, are afraid of their manager; and lack strong leadership. And yet they wonder why they are not productive and happy. • Learn the 5 things you can do to create a real team, to build a team where team members feel connected to something larger than themselves and feel positive about working together towards shared goals. • Learn how to develop a team to have productive debate with each other. • Learn how a team leverages the positive. • Learn how to find the best in each other and each situation.

What is your team doing that destroys teamwork? Creating unreasonable time constraints? Insulting innovation and discouraging mistakes? Not involving the team until the last minute? Not defining who does what? Do you let corporate politics get in the way of progress? Do you establish roadblocks to virtual collaboration? Do you send mixed messages about team priorities? Do you motivate with rewards and recognition? Do you and your colleagues trust each other? One of these alone is enough to cripple your team. Combine them and you destroy your team. They create miserable workplaces and demolish productivity. Learn how to do the opposite. Learn how to create a pumped-up, focused, enthusiastic team of distinction able to take on the world!

Does your team have "swing?" Do the people who report to you work as a team in near-perfect synchronization, unified in mission, achieving outstanding results? How do you know? A lot of talented individuals doing a good job doesn’t mean they are a high-performing team. They can simply be a collection of high-performing individuals. A true team is more like a crew team: each of the people in the boat is doing the same thing in exact unison. Learn how to develop your crew into a true team operating at world-class level. Learn how to develop these characteristics that define a team with "swing": • fierce pride • succeeding and failing together • synchronization • a mind of their own • aspirational ambition.
