Why do some teams thrive, while others struggle? In the modern workplace, employees collaborate. Managers are expected to be effective team leaders and employees are expected to be valued teammates.

Readers will find actionable, evidence-based tips for being an effective team leader, a great team member, a supportive senior leader, or an impactful consultant.

Team 7-Eleven
Author: Geoff Drake
Publisher: VeloPress

Languages : en
Pages : 473
Book Description
In 1980, there were exactly four professional bike racers in America. Six years later, an American cycling team would wear the coveted yellow jersey of the Tour de France. And that same team would go on to win Italy's greatest race--the Giro d'Italia--only two years later. Team 7-Eleven is the extraordinary story of how two Olympic speed skaters, Jim Ochowicz and Eric Heiden, pulled together a small group of amateur cyclists and turned them into one of the greatest cycling teams the sport has known. From humble beginnings in a barn in Pennsylvania to soaring victories in the French Alps, Team 7-Eleven is the complete history that has never been fully told--until now. The 7-Eleven Cycling Team--Team 7-Eleven for short--launched the careers of American cycling superstars Andy Hampsten, Davis Phinney, Bob Roll, Ron Kiefel, and many more. It also changed the cycling world, creating a new team structure based on multiple stars, unified goals, and personal sacrifice for the greater good. And yet at the time it was formed, the number of American cyclists with world-class experience could be counted--literally--on one hand. And the number of American teams that competed in Europe's biggest races was exactly zero. Team 7-Eleven is the amazing story of how two cycling fans found one exceptional sponsor and created the greatest American cycling team of its era. Written with the enthusiastic cooperation of the team members, Team 7-Eleven will impress cycling fans with behind-the-scenes stories of the team's founding, its growing pains, and its lasting success as the team that established America as a powerhouse in the world of professional cycling.

Languages : en
Pages : 798
Book Description
They had a pact. SEAL Team Seven, seven men who had formed an unbreakable bond while fighting to protect their country. None of them would marry until their service to home and country had been fulfilled. Now five of the brothers have found love, smack dab in the middle of them trying to chase down a madman who's out to destroy them and everything they love.As the only two left standing, Quinn and Devon decided that their job now was to protect their brothers and their women. Though they got a kick out of watching the by-play between their brothers and their new sisters, neither man believed that life was for him.Quinn, who has a special gift that he keeps hidden from everyone but his brothers, didn't think he'd ever fall into the marriage trap. What woman would saddle herself with someone with his history? Then in the middle of the night he's awakened by his senses to the threat of danger. Since none of his family is in imminent danger, he can find no reason for his 'gift' to show up now. When the feeling persists, and he follows his mind, it leads him to the woman who would win his heart with just one look at her. When she turns out to be the daughter of one of his old commander's closest friends, the mystery only deepens.Kelly knew that one day her daddy's time in the Navy was going to come back to bite her in the rear end. Home from college for the summer, she's looking forward to some relaxation in the small town where she'd been born and raised, after the hustle and bustle of the city. But that all changes when she's snatched and dragged across three states.She doesn't know what's going on but she knows one thing, she's not going down without a fight. When she sees the figure off in the distance on the beach as her kidnappers are dragging her into the fog, she makes a run for it, and right into the arms of her destiny.Devon's getting a kick out of the way his brothers had all fallen. Then his new sisters started whispering behind their hands and keeping him in their sights and he knew they were plotting his demise. Thankfully he and his brothers were embroiled in a dangerous game of cat and mouse that helped take the heat off.After they rescue Quinn's woman from traffickers on the beach, she's overheard mentioning another grab the kidnappers have planned and they head off to California to rescue the son of another one of the commander's old team mates.Only when they get there there's a surprise waiting. A surprise that will turn Devon's world upside down and make him question the life he'd had planned for himself.Ariel Samson is a woman of mystery. Raised in secret her whole life, she doesn't show up in anyone's database. The men and their friends who have banded together to help them take care of the threat are left scrambling to put the pieces of who she is together.Her sweet innocence reminds Devon of the mother he lost so long ago, but there was something else growing inside him, something that refused to be denied. But the deeper he digs into who she is he finds that there might be more than just his doubts that can keep them apart.
