Building the Team

Drawing on his extensive military background in logistics, training, and as Drill Sergeant of the Year, author Kenric Brooks extends the army's team-building model to civilian applications. He lays out the stages of building an effective and productive team, including the critical elements of building trust, establishing lines of communication, and creating value. He also draws upon biblical wisdom, which provides an abundance of relevant guidance.

Brooks also introduces his "Productivity and Resource Model," a new concept that describes information flow and how it affects a team's productivity. Through detailed examples you will understand the importance of establishing a strong foundation and how to fortify that foundation to build a team that will strive toward progress.

Teams are born from an idea, during a time of need, or from the desire for profit. The relationships, inspiration, and innovations that teams create can move companies and organizations toward profound progress. Building the Team will help you to develop yourself, your managers, and your teams to meet every challenge with confidence.
