An invaluable bag of tricks for support staff at schools, nonprofits, and beyond

Those of us who work behind the scenes at schools and other mission-driven organizations know―these programs simply would not function without us. Yet we rarely receive the support we need to keep everything running smoothly. The Together Teammate is full of strategies and techniques for doing just that. You’ll get hands-on resources and advice for organizing your time, collaborating efficiently, and proactively managing projects.

With workbook-type activities, project templates, practice sections, online material, and reflection questions, The Together Teammate is a toolkit that you can use to make life easier starting today―and one that you’ll appreciate in years to come as you build skills for your next role.

“Maia has done it again! Through powerful tools, practical tips, and personal wisdom accumulated through a career as an educator and nonprofit leader, Maia demystifies the ‘magic’ behind getting things done. The Together Teammate fills the void in speaking to the unique challenges and pressures experienced by those in the vast workplace middle―not yet leading organizations, but nonetheless doing significant and complex work. This book is a must-read for any team member looking to increase their effectiveness, conquer the chaos, and experience the awesome feeling of togetherness.”
―MICHAEL CORMACK, Deputy Superintendent, Jackson Public Schools
