Stronger Together How Great Teams Work

What makes world-class teams the best in their field - what do they do that others don't? And what can business or sports people learn from the best?
Leading sport psychology consultant and performance coach Simon Hartley has worked with, and studied, some of the world's greatest sports teams and elite-level athletes. In Stronger Together he shares what he has learned from extraordinary teams - from the Red Arrows, SAS units and leading surgical teams, to the All Blacks, Round the World Yacht Race crews and Twenty20 Cricket World Champions - and distils it into powerful 'take-home' advice that will be invaluable to anyone in business or sport who wants to become a great team player, improve their overall performance or drive their team to greater success.

With contributions from members of some of these elite teams, as well as fascinating insights from Simon's coaching experiences, and practical workshops, Stronger Together lifts the lid on what it takes to become the best.

'Stronger Together is an insightful look into the inner world of world-class teams and how they came to be that way. Rhetoric- and pontification-free, this is a serious study of team dynamics proven to work and applicable to us all'
Brendan Hall, Victorious Clipper Round the World skipper and author of Team Spirit

What do world-class teams do that others don't? How do those teams think, make decisions and respond to challenges?

Stronger Together will help readers to understand what differentiates world-class teams from the rest. Using these insights, readers can apply the same key principles when leading - or being a part of - a team, whether they are in a business or sports environment.

To illustrate how world-class teams operate and how they're led, the author draws on examples of teamwork from a diverse range of disciplines, from The Red Arrows to SAS Units, a Formula One Pit Crew, Americas Cup yacht crews, World Championship sports teams and more. He includes case studies from his work with elite professional, international and Olympic sports teams, plus executive leadership teams from businesses.

This truly insightful and fascinating book lifts the lid on what it takes to be the best and how we can translate these lessons to our own performance.
