"Daniel Coyle spent three years researching the question of what makes a successful group tick, visiting some of the world's most productive groups - including Pixar, Navy SEALs, Zappos, IDEO, and the San Antonio Spurs. He discovered that high-performing groups relentlessly generate three key messages that enable them to excel: Safety - we are connected. 2 Shared Risk - we are vulnerable together. 3 Purpose - we are part of the same story. Fascinating science, compelling real-world stories and leadership tools that can apply to businesses, schools, sports, families, and any kind of group. Daniel Coyle works as an advisor to the Cleveland Indians and is the author of The Secret Race, The Little Book of Talent, The Talent Code, Lance Armstrong's War, Hardball: A Season in the Projects and the novel Waking Samuel"--Provided by publisher.
