Based on more than ten years of researching, observing, coaching, and
building extraordinary teams, this entertaining and thought-provoking
book demonstrates how to unify groups of all sizes to maximize
performance.
Unity is the most influential factor in team performance and, although
it is frequently discussed, it is often misunderstood. This book
explains how disunity is the root cause of all team dysfunctions, and
provides clear instructions on how to define, measure, and increase
unity in your organization. Through entertaining and impactful stories,
John Ross divides Team Unity into four components - focus, direction,
trust, and conflict - and examines how they are related and measured.
Notably, Ross introduces The Unity Formula: a simple equation useful
for leaders at all levels in any organization to measure the team's
current unity and identify areas for improvement.
Senior and middle managers in manufacturing, hospitality, and a range of
other industries, as well as entry level employees and students of
organizational behavior and HRM, will find this book an invaluable
resource for understanding how to identify, measure and partake in the
right steps to increase team performance.
