Download or read book It Takes Team Effort written by Lemuel W. Watson and published by IAP. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the many ways and opportunities in which men and women might work together to highlight creative ways as well as examine the role of men in schools, families, and community engagement. The book helps to broaden the group’s “collective identity” of those who work with male teachers and caregivers by expanding an understanding of their experiences in order to better ways of collaboration. This book serves as a practical guide and resource to challenge the status quo in following our own intuition about our life’s work as men and women in early childhood education. The central theme that is sought here is to remember the general purpose of education: to enlighten for multiple purposes and to ask the resounding questions of how do we best achieve this purpose as men and women working together without the confines of gender roles, especially as educators in early childhood and the general educational setting where gender roles are specific to men and women’s perceived ways of caring, nurturing, providing, and educating future generations.

Download or read book Teamwork Is an Individual Skill written by Christopher M Avery and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2001-04-09 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowing how to work effectively in and through groups may be the single most important skill anyone can develop in today's collaborative, team-based workplace. Unfortunately, all of the resources available on teamwork put the emphasis on group process and ignore the role of-and benefits to-the individual. But effective teamwork isn't only a group skill set; it's an individual skill set as well. Teamwork Is an Individual Skill shows readers how to develop the skills to thrive on any team, under any circumstances. No longer will readers find themselves complaining, "I got assigned to a bad team." Instead, they'll know what to do to make any team work for them. Drawing on over twenty years of experience successfully developing professional teams in product development, R&D, and high-tech environments, Christopher Avery and his coauthors use brief thought-provoking essays, personal and teambuilding exercises, case studies, and insights from business leaders to teach readers how to build responsible and productive relationships at work. The authors show how and why your ability to assume personal responsibility-for your own work on a team and for the team's collective work-is the most important factor in ensuring a productive team experience. Teambuilding, the authors point out, is essentially a series of conversations between people who share responsibility to get something done. Teamwork Is an Individual Skill describes the way these conversations typically progress, and shows the reader how to predict and direct these conversations so that they can maximize the benefits to both themselves and to their team. Designed for easy access and for use by both individuals and groups, Teamwork Is an Individual Skill will equip readers with the mental skills and behaviors that will help them achieve personal goals while contributing to their team's success.

Download or read book Team Work written by Russ Sarratt and published by Fidelis Books. This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern workplace is built on teamwork, but for many workers this structure feels like a necessary evil—an impediment rather than a perpetuator of success and fulfillment. The traditional approach to teamwork often pits individuals against one another with a “me-first” mentality, leading to dysfunctional teams that fail to accomplish their purpose. Fortunately, there is a better way to work. In this salient book, Russ Sarratt and Rusty Chadwick provide a framework for a different kind of team—one where personal excellence and sacrificial service at the individual level changes the narrative of the larger group. No matter the industry or profession, the success of a team and the fulfillment of its members depend on each individual’s ability and desire to contribute. Team Work introduces 13 timeless principles of teamsmanship—simple but transformative values that are revolutionizing the way teams function. Whether at work, at home, on the athletic field, or in the community, the principles of Team Work will help you develop a clear understanding of how to move your team forward and thrive in the process.

Download or read book Right Minded Teamwork written by Dan Hogan and published by Lord & Hogan LLC. This book was released on 2022-02-19 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful teams who consistently create and sustain teams that work as one integrate the essence of the nine, Right-Minded choices into their team. There is no one right way to apply them I suggest you start by reading and understanding each choice and then follow the instructions found in the Leader & Teammate Actions section that show specific actions you can take to apply each choice. Hi there! I’m Dan Hogan. I have been in your shoes, wondering how in the world to lead teammates towards greater collaboration and team effectiveness. In this book, you will find specific actions you can take to achieve better teamwork, or as we call it, Right-Minded Teamwork (RMT). Successful team leaders who consistently create and sustain teams that work as one integrate the essence of the nine, Right-Minded choices into their team. You "collectively" taught me these choices. I started facilitating team-building workshops in 1986. Much has changed since then, but I worked with many talented leaders and teammates, quite like you, even in the early days. After my first few years, I began to notice these Right-Minded choices emerging in my awareness. I did not invent them. I learned them from people like you. Observing their effectiveness, I dedicated my career to promoting them and helping teams learn to apply these choices successfully. Today, so many years later, they are still self-evident, self-validating, and universal best practices. When I published the first edition of this book in 2013, I gave copies to many of my team leader clients. Robin Hensley was one of those talented leaders, and, after reading it, she shared her review: [RMT’s 9 Right Choices is] a fast read that takes you straight to the root of team dysfunctions and gives you proven, step-by-step tools to improve team function and deliver results. I have paid thousands of dollars for team trainings and workshops that are better summarized here. I am glad to be reminded to choose Reason over Ego and stay in my right mind. Robin Hensley, VP IT, UPS Robin’s was just one endorsement I received. Her response, along with others, spoke about the real-world value of these nine concepts and choices. They affirmed what I had already seen through my years of team building and facilitation efforts: When you persistently include these choices into your team through team-building workshops, your team will improve. You become a successful Right-Minded Teamwork leader and facilitator. Truly. With these choices in your mind, you no longer have to wonder what you should do. The answer is always, “Do no harm, and work as one.” Application: Start by understanding all nine choices. Find a Leader & Teammate Actions section that outlines specific actions you can take. By the time you finish reading the last choice, you will know how to apply them. Remember: It Is About the Dialogue. These nine choices are undoubtedly important. But they are secondary to your team’s dialogue about them. They will serve as catalysts for your teammate discussions and the eventual creation of team Work Agreements. Regardless of your approach, every application will include a healthy, functional, and empowering dialogue that moves your teammates towards acting and behaving as one unified team. Now that you have a clearer sense of the RMT journey, I want to take a moment to congratulate you on your new role. Incorporating these 9 Right Choices into your team-building repertoire means you are now a Right-Minded Teamwork Leader and Facilitator. Your specialty is team transformations. My support: It took countless workshops, a 35-year career in active team-building facilitation, and the collective wisdom of so many teammates and leaders to conceptualize and build RMT into the robust model it is today. Though I no longer facilitate actively, choosing to pass that torch on to the next generation of leaders and facilitators, I will always continue to promote Right-Minded Teamwork. The reason for my continued passion is quite simple. I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that RMT is right for every team, everywhere, forever. If you use RMT, it will help make your teams and the world a better place. Let’s get started now. Dan Hogan
