Leading Your Team has become an essential survival kit for team leaders tackling the challenge of creating, inspiring and sustaining teams. In this updated new edition, Leigh and Maynard continue their hands-on approach to developing the leadership skills needed to harness the power and commitment of everyone involved in today's multi-cultural, self-directed and virtual teams.
Major additions, including a new chapter on virtual teams, bring up-to-date the authors' classic advice on how to facilitate and inspire team excellence. A new 3-stage development process shows how to successfully make the transition from being a player (who takes opportunities) to a pioneer (who seeks opportunities) to team creator (who makes opportunities).
Focusing on the personal style of leaders and how new forms of relationships--not new technologies--are fundamental to team performance, the authors offer a wealth of nuts-and-bolts suggestions including practical ideas, tips, case studies and examples of how to deal with difficult team members, inspire team meetings, create self-managing teams, review team progress, and ask for the moon--and get it!
