Von der hinteren Coverseite

Your team has a big job to do―against swirling priorities, rapid change, seemingly impossible deadlines, and (for most) a culture where the value of people is questioned. Most teams are formed by groups of people forced to work together who use outdated or even destructive ways of working with others. With scarce resources, it means most teams are destined to flatline and fail.

Even though everyone knows what traits successful teams share―such as trust, collaboration, vision, accountability, empowerment, and communication―the distressing truth is few people know how to quickly put those traits into practice. How will you activate the talent your team possesses so you can deliver on expectations? To prove your value to the organization demands you have a proven solution.

Based on twenty-five years of empirical data across as many industries from companies of all sizes, Do Big Things decodes a once mystifying formula―a pattern of thinking and behaving teams have utilized in all arenas to overcome extraordinary challenges, deliver big outcomes, and with team members who have their whole heart in it. With this book, your team can replicate the powerful and sustainable framework that enables team members to inherently practice the traits you know are essential to deliver transformative outcomes.

The seven steps in the Do Big Things (DBT) Framework put a tangible road map at your fingertips, so your team can use every interaction to model the thinking and actions needed to succeed in today’s pressurized workplace. In clear, logical discussions, the authors explain each part of the framework with experienced insight and illuminating examples from the real world so you can seamlessly implement it with your team.

Once team members are equipped with the DBT Framework, team members will better:

• Model the self-awareness, emotional courage, and integrity necessary to bring their best to every interaction
• Demonstrate the empathy and transparency necessary to activate and bring out the best in others
• Function with an enterprise mindset, so, as one team, you can connect across the business with other teams to deliver shared objectives

If your instincts tell you that you can develop your team’s heart, talent, and potential to do extraordinary things, trust them. With Do Big Things, you can make an epic impact.
