THE BEST TEAM WINS

The New York Times bestselling authors of ALL IN and THE CARROT PRINCIPLE are back with a breakthrough guide for creating vibrant, productive teams - the single biggest driver of performance in the business world today.

In many of today's companies, nearly 80% of employees' days are spent working in teams. But too often, teams don't work as effectively as they should - and could. They are often divided by tensions, if not outright dissension, egos, and distractions. In the end, these dysfunctional teams drain employees' energy, enthusiasm, and creativity. In this new book, Gostick and Elton demonstrate how managers can build cohesive, productive teams that work together and not against each other.

The book offers practical ways to address the real challenges today's managers are facing, such as the rise of the Millennials, the increasing speed of change, the growing number of global and virtual teams, and the friction created by working cross-functionally. Drawing on more than 850,000 employee engagement surveys to develop their "Five Disciplines of Team Leaders," the authors explain how to recognize and motivate individuals and promote healthy discord and spark innovation.

Gostick and Elton have co-authored multiple New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestsellers and have sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide in 30 languages. They are two of the limited LinkedIn Influencers, whose bi-monthly columns each generate millions of views. They have over 400,000 LinkedIn followers, and the company's full support in promoting their book. They'll use their websites, weekly CBS radio spot, and dozens of annual speaking engagements to promote the book as well.
