The Secret of Teams

What Great Teams Know and Do

De: Mark Miller

Narrado por: Bob Dunsworth

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Whether you're part of a huge corporation, a not-far-profit organization, or a small company with just a few employees, apply the principles and practices in The Secret of Teams to make your workplace come alive.” (Ken Blanchard, author of the bestselling classic The One Minute Manager)

Motivational and inspiring

Very much liked this book use the audible at work what's recommended by management team help build a better team within our shop I believe it does have its benefits and I would recommend it

Great and engaging

As always, you Are in good hands with Mark.
I love the format of writing in stores to teach subjects that could easily have been another dry and boring book on leadership teori.

Real and Relevant

With so many books on leadership and teams it can be hard to digest and accept the "next good idea or opinion". Mark Miller has captured a great progressive theme from the Heart of a Leader to The Secret of Leadership and now in The Secret of Teams. I encourage leaders to commit all three to their arsenal of books to have on the Shelf in full display with pages worn and marked up.

WORTH it!

"The Secret of Teams" is a continuation (of sorts) of Mark Miller's "The Secret" and explores what makes some teams outperform others. Through a fictional narrative (I love a good fable!), he reveals that high-performing teams excel in three areas: talent, skills, and community. I like that the story's style made the principles easy to understand and kept me engaged throughout. It prompted me to reflect on my own team experiences and consider how we might enhance our collaboration and effectiveness. Miller's insights are practical and actionable, offering a roadmap for building stronger teams. If you're interested in team dynamics and leadership, this book provides meaningful guidance. Well WORTH your time.

It was really good for a new leader.

The book is really good because it does give you a real life example I think this is a very valuable book for new leaders or for leaders that one of refresh their ship skills. It takes you back to the basis.

Not interesting to listen to

I just really struggled to finish. It was great content but the story just was not very captivating.

Juvenile writing; stilted performance

This was required reading for work, so I wasn't expecting a thrilling story. But the writing was incredibly repetitive and, there's no there word for it: corny. As for the audio performance, it was stilted and awkward. It sounded like the computer programs that can read to you. It didn't sound conversational or natural at all. Overall, silly and difficult to listen to.
