Team Habits: How Small Actions Lead to Extraordinary Results

Habits are crucial for personal productivity. But we rarely work alone: achieving our goals depends on how well we work with others. And teams have their own habits that can accelerate – or block – success.

In this essential handbook, productivity and teamwork expert Charlie Gilkey shows how to cultivate, implement and maintain the small habits that lead to big results for any team. From the Team Habits quiz, where you can identify the habits you need to build (or break) to a roadmap for putting them into practice, this book is full of clear, simple actions to:

• run more productive meetings
• eliminate pointless emails
• make better, swifter decisions
• create a stellar culture of belonging

Team Habits is the difference between teamwork that feels like a struggle and collaboration that empowers everyone to deliver their best.
