Discover small, team-based changes that have company-wide results in this lifechanging book by the author of Start Finishing.

"This is the modern business handbook that should sit on everyone’s desk." ―Pamela Slim, author of Body of Work and The Widest Net

The teams we work with amplify our individual efforts, yet we constantly struggle to accomplish what is possible. You can see all the problems in a typical weekly meeting: No planning. Missing goals. Muddled communication. We think just bringing our personal hopes and desires will be enough—it's not. The groups we work in need collective habits as much as individuals need better personal habits.

Determining team habits for things like planning, decision-making, and prioritization produce reliability and ease for everyone. In Team Habits, Charlie Gilkey explains how the revolution in personal habits has an even greater potential when applied to teams. With practical exercises, a Team Habits Quiz to evaluate areas for improvement, and a guide to create a team habits roadmap, Team Habits will help you transform your group so team members can flourish and thrive.

If changing the smallest habit can yield powerful results for an individual, then just imagine what it can do for your team.

Top reading

Just excelent content. Plain and simple. The author leverages on his military training to develop a book that should be read by every team manager.

The references to the army gave me the chills

Lots of valuable learning for me in Charlie's book. But every time the author spoke about his experiences in the U.S. Army, it gave me chills. Probably, from the author's point of view, when he was part of the army, he was contributing to a good cause. From my point of view, he was contributing to missions that killed thousands of people and seriously damaged the infrastructure of a region, so that the United States could have more power and benefit from the region's oil. From my point of view it's siniester. I would encourage him to get informed from sources beyond main stream media, and not to talk about shuch siniester endevours as if they were just a normal part of life.
