If you are looking for a leadership book, this is not it. Its not a book and there is not any real direct leadership insight.

However, if you are after a GREAT Christian seminar with amazing speakers, lots of energy and a very uplifting message, this is a great listen!

All of us in the today's workforce are called upon, more and more, to work effectively in teams. But do you know how to build a team that truly takes advantage of the knowledge, experience, and motivation of its members? Here, expert authors Ken Blanchard, Alan Randolph, and Peter Grazier outline a three-step process that will help you transform any kind of team into a Next-Level team.

The teamwork material presented is good, with a large variety of facts and examples. There is a good amount of detail presented also. The content of this book is good.

The narrator has something of a William Shatner sound to him with odd inflections on the end of many of his words. While distracting for a business book, I am sure its great in an actual story.

Teamwork, one of the most celebrated concepts in corporate life, is falling short on its promise. Why Teams Don't Work identifies the obstacles (most of them people-made) that prevent teams from achieving their potential, suggests methods to remove those obstacles, and explains how to take care of the team members.

The book works out to be a lot of rapid fire lists. Its hard to listen to and keep up with. I imagine that you would get more from it by readign the book and seeing the lists.

I didn't think there was a lot of detail behind the lists, but some of the lists themselves are helpfull.

The Unicorn says that humans are brought to Narnia only in time of greatest need, and that time is now. The great Lion Aslan, the heart of Narnia, is missing. An impostor roams the land in his place, enslaving Aslan's loyal creatures and spreading treachery and lies. Only King Tirian and his small band of loyal followers are left to fight the last battle in this magnificent ending to The Chronicles of Narnia.

Narnia is in peril, and only Eustace and Jill can help. Along with Puddlegum, a gloomy but valiant Marsh-wiggle, they are sent by the mighty lion Aslan to find Prince Rilian, heir to the throne. Their quest leads them past hungry people-eating Giants, and deep into the dark underground. But the true test for this noble band of friends comes when they face an evil witch and her deadly enchantments.
