Leaders know that high performing teams achieve better results faster and effective teams outperform effective leaders. So, how do you get teams to operate as more than the sum of their parts more often? How can they achieve better outcomes working more interdependently?

These are precisely the questions answered by best-selling author, facilitator and leadership expert Bernard Desmidt in Team Better Together. He introduces us to the five distinguishing disciplines of high performing and flourishing teams that achieve impactful results.

As a team coach his expertise is in helping teams transition to become more collaborative, high performing teams so they access more of their collective capacity and capability to achieve the greatest things possible.

As the trainer points out, this is a practical guide to help leaders unlock the power within their teams.

“It comes at a time of unprecedented change, where leaders need to adopt new ways of thinking, being and doing. Our ways of navigating complexity and uncertainty have changed forever. The hybrid ways of working have set a new order. Now, our way of work is as important as our place of work.”

Bernard shows how successful organisations differentiate themselves by creating high performance teams where connection, collaboration and coordination flow between and within, irrespective whether teaming together and apart.

Jam-packed with tools, tips and examples, Team Better Together shows how creating unified teams supercharges performance and ensures long-term sustainable success.
