Creating the Exceptional Team: A Practitioner's Guide

Working for a Fortune "Top 50" corporation for thirty years, I held many supervisory, middle management and executive positions. As director of Human Resources - Executive Learning and Development, on of my priorities was to provide the strategy and learning involved for developing high performance teams at all levels throughout the organization.This book is precisely the tool that would have saved my team countless hours of research and how-to strategies.The fact that the book was researched and authored by professionals who have an abundance of practical experience makes it invaluable. People who actually do the work in the real day-to-day work world, dealing with the challenges will immediately relate to the situations and welcome the tool offered.The team survey itself is worth the price, In addition, to offering useful tools, this book provides step-by-step guides for how to use the data collected.I would immediately purchase copies for my team leaders and suggest that they do the same for their team members.

A practical and reflective guide to developing exceptional teams in the competitive world of any organization. It provides a scaffolded action plan to meet the needs of an organization's purpose. In today's global society, competition is heralded and a distinguished team to affect change is a requirement. Creating an Exception Team is a framework to build exceptional leadership teams.

I found this book to be immediately useful. It pulls a lot of the threads of effective teams into one place. It has both practical, user-friendly tools and enough depth to make it a valuable resource for "students of the game".

Out of the 10-15 leadership books I've read in the last five years, this beats them all. Practical, concise, and eye opening! I'm getting this book for all the leaders in my life...

A very helpful book! Great practical and easy to implement ideas. Sure to make a difference. I would highly recommend reading.
