As a leader, developing your Leadership Team is the biggest single value opportunity available to you. Whether your team is reasonably effective or more dysfunctional, you’ll know that it could work much better. What you may not know is just how much difference it could make both to your bottom line results and to your working experience. Developing an exceptional Leadership Team is also easier than you might think.

In this comprehensive and practical book, Chris Henderson sets out clear strategies for how you can understand your Leadership Team better and how you can get the most from it.

It includes:

• New research on the value of increasing team effectiveness
• The Six Game-Changing Conversations a new model for understanding what great Leadership Teams do
• Comprehensive guidance for how to get started

It's also packed with practical ideas, tools and case studies and even insights from the author's personal experience of the Maasai and how their powerful collective approach to survival and success has much to teach us in the Boardroom.
