What makes a great team? Author, leadership expert, and corporate
consultant looks at how businesses can build trust and achieve high
performance.
Have you ever been on a team where the talent was strong, but the team
wasn't very good? On the flip side, have you ever been on a team where
not every single member was a rock star, but something about the team
just worked?
We've all had these types of experiences. And yet, it can be difficult
to understand what makes one team successful and another one not.
In this book, Mike Robbins dives deep into the ways great businesses
build trust, collaborate, and operate at their peak level. As an expert
in teamwork, leadership, and emotional intelligence, Mike draws on more
than 20 years of experience working with top companies like Google and
Microsoft, as well as his baseball career with the Kansas City Royals.
And, while each team and organization have their own unique challenges,
goals, and dynamics, there are some universal qualities that allow teams
to truly come together and thrive.
The book's core principles include fostering an environment of
psychological safety, fostering inclusion and belonging, addressing and
navigating conflict, and maintaining a healthy balance of high
expectations and empathy. Throughout, Mike shares powerful exercises and
tools he's successfully utilized in the keynote speeches, group sessions
and corporate retreats that he delivers, so that you and your team can
communicate more authentically, give and receive feedback with skill,
and create deeper connections.
We're All in This Together also features personal stories and
interviews with high-level business leaders and thought leaders to
provide insights into an ever-changing workplace culture.

For us to do our best work, have the kind of impact we truly want to
have, and unlock our full potential, we can't do it alone; we must to do
it together. If you and your team are willing to do what it takes, you
can build and sustain an incredibly strong culture of trust and
performance, and accomplish remarkable things. -Mike Robbins
