Team Building: How to Motivate and Manage People (2 Cassettes)

Rating:
Summary: Mark Sanborn is a great Team Motivator
Review: As a teacher in a middle school, teamwork is very important to me. I picked up this workshop on cassette because I felt there were some aspects of our team that were dysfunctional. Sanborne presents some very specific opinions about teams and the role of individuals in any work group. His theories aren't just concepts out of context though. He presents some very solid habits, practices and useful advice for making a team more effective.
He begins by outlining some very basic principles of what teamwork is, and breaks down misconceptions of team work. Then he moves to specific strategies offered to make team playing more effective. He has advice for administrators, managers, middlemen and even the "lowly" intern that make effective teamwork.
His tape also addresses Risk Taking, Effective Communication, Team Recruiting, Job Trading, Management Training, Empathy at work, Goal Setting, and the effectiveness of increased responsibility. Practitioners of his benchmarks that provide good examples of his concepts include business giants such as Wal-Mart, and McDonalds as well as others.
Though the trends talked about in his tape are reflective of yesterday's corporate trends, he has very good ideas that are still practical and useful today. I am eager to pick up the tape and listen to it again in August, just before school starts this fall because it will reinforce the practical strategies I have developed from his advice. I strongly suggest implementing Mark's ideas because they are sound and practical. Putting them into practice will make any team more efficient, successful and dynamic.
