Synergist: How to Lead Your Team to Predictable Success

Les McKeown provides anyone who works with others - whether they're a leader or not - with a stunningly intuitive yet powerful model that will enable them to become a "leader of leaders"; lead any group away from gridlock and compromise to achieving exceptional results; produce cohesion and alignment in even the most dysfunctional team; and accelerate and consolidate the success of any group. Using multiple anecdotes and mini-case studies, the book begins by showing how groups of people with common goals almost always fail to produce great results, either because the group gridlocks at some point or because the group members compromise their expectations for great results in order to simply "get something done." McKeown offers a detailed step-by-step guide to help managers develop their own Synergist skills, which will lead to improved results and repeatable success.
