Overview

From schoolrooms to boardrooms, the word teamwork is becoming more and more important. Organizations of all types accomplish more when people work together. But ultimately, a team is simply a collection of individuals. The challenge for each individual -- each team member -- is to become the kind of person who can maximize his or her contribution and push the team forward to fulfill its mission. The 17 Essential Qualities of a Team Player can help you meet that challenge by helping you develop into a true team player.

As in previous books, Maxwell teaches by taking a look at what works. He examines the triumphs of winning team players such as Quincy Jones, Ronald Reagan, Bob Taylor (founder of Taylor Guitars), and many others, identifying the character traits that brought success their way. Learn how qualities such as discipline, enthusiasm, communication, preparation, and commitment in individuals can improve a team's effectiveness as a whole.

Teamwork is an integral part of business, family, church, and recreation. By guiding you to improve your value as a team member, The 17 Essential Qualities of a Team Player can have a positive impact on every part of your life.
