In order to improve and enhance our offerings as a team building service provider, we make a point of keeping up with trends, research and literature related to team performance and innovation. I came up with a list that I felt was most useful for building a successful team. The following list is linked to a site that describes and sells these excellent books. Granted, this is a long list, and much of the information found within any one book is similar to that found in many others. However, each of these books had some kernel of truth that I felt teams needed to master in order to become a ‘learning organization,’ capable of innovating to meet the future head-on.
The Fifth Discipline Fieldbook
Work Like DaVinci
The Power of an Hour
The Emotional Intelligence Quickbook
The Ten Faces of Innovation
Leadership and Self-Deception
Overcoming the Five Dysfunctions of a Team
Eat That Frog!
What Got You Here Won’t Get You There
The Speed of Trust
As time goes on, we will add other books that we hope will be of use to leaders who are interested in building a high performance team. And, if you know of any books that you think should be added to this list, please let us know! You can either email us, or simply add your suggestions in a Comment.
Good luck!
