Synopsis

In Superteams, renowned teamwork specialist Khoi Tu explains how to make sure your team delivers consistently superior results and emerges stronger from the inevitable crises you will face.

What do the SAS, Ferrari and the Rolling Stones have in common? Their success is about much more than talented individuals. They are Superteams.

Every organisation, whether a business or a sports club, lives or dies by the quality of its teamwork. No man can be an island for long; only great teams can face a crisis and emerge stronger. So how do you build the right team? Many people think of it like a rock supergroup: bring the best of the best together and magic will happen. Yet supergroups often flop, while bands of unknowns rise to the top.

In this incisive and inspirational book, renowned teamwork specialist Khoi Tu explains how to make sure your team delivers consistently superior results, whatever your aim: averting business failure or resolving political conflict, dealing with a hostage situation or leading your team to sporting victory.

Superteams takes seven legendary teams - including animation studio Pixar, Europe's 2010 Rider Cup winners, and the people behind the Northern Ireland peace process - and analyses their inner workings, evolution and defining moments.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

The myth of the single hero is just that: a myth. Even the Lone Ranger had Tonto. On stage, in the boardroom or on the racetrack, what makes superstars so super is the amplification of their individual brilliance by a great team. Every team is different, but the shared secret of teamwork is that it has to be worked at. Becoming a better team requires that you ask difficult questions, make tough choices and take action. This book will make the route clearer and easier, inspiring and guiding you and your team to greater success

À propos de la deuxième de couverture

What do the SAS, Ferrari and the Rolling Stones have in common? Their success is about much more than talented individuals. They are Superteams. Every organisation, whether a business or a sports club, lives or dies by the quality of its teamwork. No man can be an island for long; only great teams can face a crisis and emerge stronger. So how do you build the right team? Many people think of it like a rock supergroup: bring the best of the best together and magic will happen.

In this incisive and inspirational book, renowned teamwork specialist Khoi Tu explains how to make sure your team delivers consistently superior results, whatever your aim: averting business failure or resolving political conflict, dealing with a hostage situation or leading your team to sporting victory. Superteams takes seven legendary teams - including animation studio Pixar, Europe's 2010 Rider Cup winners, and the people behind the Northern Ireland peace process - and analyses their inner workings, evolution and defining moments. The route to excellence, Khoi Tu explains, lies in the seven tasks that will turn your team into a superteam: a compelling trigger (crusade or crisis); seriously talented but adaptable team members; meticulous preparation; perfectly balanced structure; powerful team culture; first-class leadership development; and a blend ofper ardua ad astra(through adversity to the stars) and Who Dares Wins.
