I’m currently reading this book with my Store Manager peers. It has been a wonderful read with activities. This book has helped all of us grow as leaders and individuals. I highly recommend as a single reader, book club or an office/colleague read.

Great read! Id recommend.

You will not be disappointed with this book! It gets to the nitty gritty of what it takes to be a great teammate. No matter your role, profession, or life experience you will walk away from this book with valuable, actionable techniques to make yourself more enjoyable and accountable to work with.This book makes you reflect on how you are as a team member. It gives you thought provoking questions to ask yourself and your team to make you a better teammate. It starts with you. How do you measure up? The activities are practical and simple to implement in your day to day life. They are not just for the work place. I often found myself thinking about my friendships and personal relationships as well. As a leader for over 10 years, I took away many aha moments and nuggets that I started to use with my team (the one I lead and my peer team of leaders).These 6 B's will take you on a journey to greatness. What resonated most with me were two areas: seeking out feedback from your teammates about your performance/how you are as a teammate and holding yourself accountable rather than placing blame when mistakes happen. Two things I don't see happen enough within a team dynamic. I am part of a winning team but these 6 ways will enhance our connection on so many levels. Thank you Michael for such a great book.

I have been doing a lot of traveling recently - so I have been spending time reading this new book "You Are the Team" Even though I usually spend a lot of time on the plane reading, this trip I had planned on just relaxing. I started this book and it was difficult to put it down. I read it not once but three times on my last trip. This book is exactly what I need for my team. I have several sales and support people who I am responsible for and which I care a lot about. They are an excellent successful sales team. But I have been wondering what to do next to bring us more together and on the same page. After reading "You Are the Team", I knew exactly what to do. I want to make sure each one of my team members have an opportunity to read this inspiring book on teamwork. It is an excellent, easy to read and full of wonderful powerful motivation stories that can make you feel good about yourself and your team.

This is a must read if you are leading a tribe, or learning to do so. I loved the pace and practicality of the application suggestions at the end of every chapter. Rogers is an excellent guide for anyone who is on, or building a team. Stories are relevant and demonstrates additional application of each "Be" attitude explored in this book. Michael Roger's "You are the Team" You Are the Team: 6 Simple Ways Teammates Can Go from Good to Great sits next to Seth Godin's "Tribe" Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us and The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team" by Patrick M. Lencioni in my library. This well crafted and actionable book also has a downloadable Workbook for purchasers and is accompanying me on my next trip. Oh, and there is an assessment to determine what kind of Teammate you are. Huge value. Great reference. I intend to purchase a copy or "You are the Team" for each of my board members.

Nothing I don't already know. However, it's being "forced" on us to read for work.
