Description

Know yourself, know your team, solve your challenge.When team leaders meet a challenge, they often spend more time dealing with their people than dealing with the challenge. In Good Team, Bad Team, a ground-breaking primer for leaders, Sarah Thurber and Blair Miller share their decades of experience building, facilitating, and leading thriving teams alongside pioneering research from the fields of cognitive diversity and creative problem-solving. Effective team leadership isn't mind-reading-it's good science.Built on research from their popular FourSight System-used by Disney, Nike, and NASA-Good Team, Bad Team examines over 6 million data points on problem-solving styles that impact collaboration, innovation, and leadership. By integrating these scientific insights with creative strategies, Good Team, Bad Team presents a transformative model that empowers leaders to harness the diverse energies of their teams and generate powerful results.With practical exercises, relatable stories, and contrasting examples, Thurber and Miller clarify the complexities of how good and bad teams approach challenges and why they succeed or struggle to solve them. Good Team, Bad Team is the must-read leadership toolkit to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of collaboration and achieve extraordinary results-together.

"We've engrained this approach into our culture. We use it within teams and across team to increase empathy, cooperation, and innovation." --Ingrid De Clercq, Chief People Officer at Deliverect
