Teams at the Top
with Darren Overfield
Despite decades of research and a great deal of coaching, we still do not know how to create a great 'top team', let alone sustain it. I joined forces with Darren Overfield to ask what we were missing.
About the Book
Darren and I compared practices, discussed research and went back to the drawing board. We discovered that great top teams do not operate as a single, unified, equal team. Rather than trying to create strong dynamics between 12, 15, 25 people – we discovered the best teams create strong interpersonal dynamics among a small subset.
What distinguishes the best top teams from the rest is how this small subset – the inner core – see their role to zoom in and zoom out to the larger team.
