The Teamwork Chronicles
and The Power of We
Teamwork solutions for workplace problems

Now You Can Solve Your Workplace Headaches!

I’ll give you the tools you need to be more successful

Dear Employees and Managers:

Are you frustrated and unhappy at work? Are your team members suffering from low morale and a lack of teamwork? Is your boss is too busy to listen to your concerns and your co-workers too afraid to speak up?

Surveys show that many workplaces have high stress, low job satisfaction, and high turnover. In fact, job satisfaction has been falling for 9 years! Back stabbing, scapegoating and one-upsmanship are also common, along with power games, gripes, and conflicts. You’ve seen this stuff.

If you’re in healthcare, education, government, retail, hotel, restaurant, manufacturing, technology, construction, legal, accounting, or other industry, you’ll love this book! Employees and managers from these places responded to a survey I did.

One key finding: 80% of the respondents thought teamwork needed to be increased!

Is it possible to have a more positive, less stressful workplace with greater teamwork and cooperation from everyone? Yes!

 

Your Vision

Your vision was for a workplace where your boss treated you well, where people worked together to fix problems, and where you could make a difference.

You envisioned a job where your input was valued, where you were appreciated for a job well done (only 35% of employees are thanked for their hard work). You wanted a place where you had good opportunities for advancement.

What happened? Your boss didn’t tell you that he or she was a bossy, unfair person who cared little for your input. Your co-workers didn’t tell you they were trying to get ahead at your expense.

Now what? The Teamwork Chronicles, a book that will help you feel empowered again.

 

Here’s What I’ll Give You:

1. I’ll explain why some bosses behave badly—and why it has little to do with you or work issues.
   
   
2. I’ll give you examples of common teams and problems so you can identify where your team falls, in terms of teamwork and performance.
   
   
3. I’ll give you 4 critical teamwork principles that are the building blocks of successful teams and teamwork. You won’t have to guess about those again! You’ll know!
   
   
4. I’ll give you reasons why the “we” identity is so powerful for real team spirit.
   
   
5. I’ll give you a whole chapter of phrases to help you overcome your fear of raising gripes and concerns. I’ll also give you the key steps you need to solve gripes and conflicts without confrontation so they can be solved effectively!

And that’s just the beginning! I was a very team-oriented manager for many years. Then I returned to the workforce like so many people, and I ended up working in lots of dysfunctional workplaces. It was maddening to see the dumb things that happened! It was also obvious that most people didn’t know how to do things effectively! Since I’ve written the book, I’ve also written lots of articles, had many radio interviews, and been quoted in newspapers and magazines around the country. I’m trying to make a difference just like you are.
