    About this ebook

    Have you ever been part of a great team? Chances are that at some point you were part of a sports team, a social group, a work group, or a volunteer committee where the group performed incredibly well and, even under difficult circumstances or significant challenges, still prevailed.

    Take a moment to reflect on that experience. What do you feel? If you are like most people there is a sense of pride in what that team achieved, as well as fond memories of the relationship you had with other team members, and the time you spent together. Given a choice and the opportunity, almost everyone would like to be part of such a team.

    The skills required to develop a high performing team are a substantial asset to any leader's arsenal of leadership tools.

    Whether you have been a leader for some time, or are just preparing to go into a leadership role, you can increase your chances of success by applying basic team development principles, implementing sound team processes, and focusing on positive team results.

    This ebook will provide you, the leader or manager, with all the tools you need to create a well developed high performance team.
