Team Building - The Art Of Building High-Performance Teams

Owen Jones

Publisher: Tektime

Summary

In today’s fast-paced and often unpredictable work environment, a strong, cohesive team is the cornerstone of success. Whether you’re in a small start-up or a large corporation, the ability to work together effectively, with trust, collaboration, and shared goals, is essential for achieving long-term objectives. This is where team building comes into play.
Team building isn’t just about gathering employees for a day of fun or team-building exercises; it’s about creating a culture of collaboration, mutual respect, and effective communication that permeates everything a team does. It’s about understanding the dynamics of a group, recognising each person’s strengths, and using that knowledge to achieve collective success.
The impact of a well-built team goes far beyond increased productivity. A cohesive team fosters innovation, encourages problem-solving, and strengthens morale. Teams that are united are more adaptable to change, better equipped to handle challenges, and more likely to support each other during times of stress.
This booklet aims to explore the various aspects of team building, from understanding team rôles and dynamics to implementing effective communication and conflict resolution strategies. It will also delve into the practical elements of team building, such as setting clear goals, sustaining motivation, and leveraging technology to enhance collaboration — particularly in remote and hybrid environments.
Whether you’re a team leader, manager, or a team member, the concepts and strategies shared in this booklet will help you build and maintain a high-performing, resilient team. Through team-building activities, open dialogue, and a commitment to continuous improvement, teams can unlock their full potential and achieve results that exceed expectations.
Let’s explore how you can create a stronger, more connected team that thrives in any environment.

Practical Applications of Taoism...

SULI Daniel Johnson

I decided to write this book after having written several books on the applications of Taoism in different areas. The applications of Taoism are broad. For everything that has been written, it remains poorly understood. There are several reasons for this. I have practiced Taoism for most of my life. I studied under a Taoist Master and spent many years in a temple. I have read a great deal on the subject. I have discovered that most of what is written is unclear and, in many cases, misleading. Having practiced Taoism for most of my life, I live the Tao, and I have helped others to live it. The reason why it's so difficult to describe Tao because people are attempting to do so through the lens of cognitive understanding and science. The Taoist perspective is completely different, so it does not lend itself well to be described through science or logic. In attempting to cast Taoism in terms of logic or science, most of what makes it unique and effective is lost.. To understand the Tao, you need to live it.
I teach aspects of this system to individuals and businesses. On the surface, the system is simple and fundamental. For this reason, many people are tempted to pass it off as being nothing more than insubstantial fluff. However, Taoism is much more than this. I will attempt in this book to explain what Taoism is. I will explain its different perspectives, how to experience it, and how to use it as a functional tool. Within this book and the second one, I will also teach many skills and techniques to develop your Taoist insight. This will help you operate more effectively within the world around you.
I will teach you how to use it to make pragmatic changes in your life. It can also be applied to improving business skills and other applications within your jobs or careers. Its applications can span creativity to the organization.

The Memo - Five Rules for Your...

John Hope Bryant

True power in this world comes from economic independence, but too many people have too much month left at the end of their money. John Hope Bryant, founder and CEO of Operation HOPE, illuminates the path toward liberation that is hiding in plain sight. His message is simple: the supermajority of people who live in poverty, whom Bryant calls the invisible class, as well as millions in the struggling middle class, haven't gotten “the memo”—until now.

Building on his personal experience of rising up from economically disadvantaged circumstances and his work with Operation HOPE, Bryant teaches readers five rules that lay the foundation for achieving financial freedom. He emphasizes the inseparable connection between “inner capital” (mindset, relationships, knowledge, and spirit) and “outer capital” (financial wealth and property). “If you have inner capital,” Bryant writes, “you can never be truly poor. If you lack inner capital, all the money in the world cannot set you free.”

Bryant gives readers tools for empowerment by covering everything from achieving basic financial literacy to investing in positive relationships and approaching wealth with a completely new attitude. He makes this bold and controversial claim: “Once you have satisfied your basic sustenance needs—food, water, health, and a roof over your head—poverty has more to do with your head than your wallet.”

Bryant wants to restore readers' “silver rights,” giving them the ability to succeed and prosper no matter what very real roadblocks society puts in their way. We have more power than we realize, if only we can recognize and claim it. “We are our first capital,” Bryant writes. “We are the CEOs of our own lives.”

The Dream Enabler Reference Guide

Matthew Burgess

Like most lawyers, I have had others attach labels to me over the years, including: (a) the baby faced assassin (b) the lawyer to get when you don’t want to deal with a lawyer (c) the ‘www’ (why the wealthy win) guy. The one that has meant the most to me was coined by a small business operator I helped guarantee she survived and ultimately prospered during a difficult start up phase. She called me ‘The Dream Enabler’. This book shares many of the key learnings I have been fortunate to discover while having unprecedented access to some of Australia’s most successful people. As set out in the foreword to ‘The Dream Enabler’ book, for as long as I can remember, the obsessive study of great thinkers has been my favourite pastime. This Reference Guide is designed to be a companion to ‘The Dream Enabler’ book. It provides a framework to explore and achieve momentum in relation to each of the key concepts, leveraging the foundations explained in detail in ‘The Dream Enabler’

The Lean Enterprise - How...

Obie Fernandez, Trevor Owens

The size of an organization and its ability to innovate are known  to have an inverse relationship. Small startups innovate quickly,  while large enterprises develop new products with a time to market  that is longer than the average person's job role. While many areas  of the economy are seeing limited growth, the startup community is  thriving, and large enterprises have taken notice. Among them, the  US Postal Service, General Electric, American Express, Lockheed  Martin, Sony, and others, are investing significant resources in  both training and infrastructure based on the concept of The  Lean Startup. Pioneered by Eric Ries and developed in Silicon  Valley, Lean Startup provides a structure for an entirely new way  of doing business.    The book will cover:    Enterprise Lean Startup  Innovation Lab  Corporate Venture Fund   Corporate Development  (Lean) Startup Tools     (Lean) Startup Metrics    This book will focus on methods, time tables, compensation,  financial investment, and case studies on successful enterprise  product development, the development innovation labs, corporate  venture arms, and acquisition & integration of startups
