Summary

Using the same characters as those found in Miller’s other bestseller, The Secret and one new character, a retired Special Forces Commander, this work aims to help team leaders and team members create high-performing teams. The core message is that Talent, Skills, and Community are all essential to team success, and that team leaders and leaders supervising or training team leaders, need to develop all three in order to create such teams.

This work presents a radical message in the team literature and in the practice of most organizations. Most team books focus on such things as getting clear about team purpose and team member roles, not the importance of creating a sense of community in a team. Miller offers concrete suggestions for building teams where people know each other deeply, server each other willingly, and genuinely care for each other. The reader learns of the value true affection and compassion bring to a team and how crucial that bond is to any team’s success.

Simple, good team ideas but took too long to set the scene

The story was told through the eyes of a corporate training team tasked with a goal to develop high performance teams. I think the book would suit corporate trainers who are aware that they need to improve. I'm not a corporate trainer therefore the book did not appeal to me.

Dont Waste Your Time

A Special Forces Team, has nothing to do with a Nascar Team, that has nothing to do with a Hospitality Team.

Full of BS, made-up stories that ultimately won't give you any insights in building a team.

In summary, hire the right people, use their strengths, not their weaknesses and focus on results.
Not to mention that the Narrator was too monotone during the entire book
