Team Relationship Management: The Art of Crafting Extraordinary Teams

Want Extraordinary? Get Relationships. The stakes have never been higher. Complex problems demanding innovative solutions require the collaboration of the best minds. Yet, too often trust is low, and people are disengaged, putting teams into a spiral of mediocrity or worse. Then there are the stellar exceptions: teams that consistently deliver exceptional performance. The critical question isn't why, or what...But "how"? After nearly 30 years in VP, GM, and CEO roles, Dr. Jeb Hurley spent five years walking in the shoes of today's team leaders while earning his doctorate in leadership. The answer became clear as he experienced what was and wasn't working on the front lines, and combined his research with insights from the best minds in the field of team science: People want and need healthy relationships at work to do their best and be their best. As a leader, you must be relentless in closing the gaps that erode strong, trusting relationships. In Team Relationship Management, you'll learn the "how" of developing and sustaining the strong, trusting relationships that people want and need at work to do their best and be their best; along with a practical, field-proven approach, and three specific actions to master the art of crafting extraordinary teams. "A masterpiece in the making in so many respects, as writings on the topic of teams and team management to date has, for the most part, been a regurgitation of the same conventional thinking and time-worn rehashing of the same theories. You've got a fresh (i.e. disruptive) approach and one that's sorely needed." --Dennis J. Pitocco, Publisher & Editor-in-Chief, BIZCATALYST 360.COM, an award-winning global media digest
