Publisher's summary

Sports teams that win have more than just talented players: they’ve also mastered the concept of teamwork, which requires more than just athletic skill. It’s a mindset that makes every player think beyond themselves, bring a positive attitude, look out for one another, and stay focused on the job at hand. 

The value of these skills in the workplace is inescapable. In this workshop, Jay Wright, head coach of the Villanova University basketball team, shares his vision of what teamwork means and highlights three audiobooks that helped shape his approach. Join Jay as he explains how leaders inside and outside the sports world have found incredible success and formed meaningful connections by fostering a healthy, team-focused outlook. 

Key Takeaways:

  • Create Healthy Dynamics: One response that changes an entire team culture
  • Deal with Setbacks: Tips for turning obstacles into opportunities
  • Generate Positive Energy: Simple practices for reading your team's energy and countering negativity
  • Build Powerful Teams: Frameworks for designing effective, efficient, happy teams 

About the Mentor:

From high school and college player to head coach of NCAA-winning Villanova, Jay Wright has spent his entire life leading teams. He is a student of human nature, group dynamics, and excellence. And he knows what it takes to get people to perform at their best - and to get teams to play with and for each other.
