Chapter 2: Choose your team – the importance of diverse teams, and choosing the right people
We need strong teams more than ever before, and today’s working environment cries out for better teamwork. However, being in a team can be a default assumption instead of a conscious decision. Some tasks are great for teams to work on, but others are better done by individuals. Get an introduction to choosing your team, and the tools you can use to assess the task, decide if a team is required, and choose the right team.

Chapter 5: Find your motivation – how purpose helps teams to perform
Working in a team can be hard and tiring, and sometimes it’s hard to find the motivation to keep going. However, if the work gives us a sense of purpose and helps us achieve a personal ambition beyond the project, it makes us motivated to achieve more together. Hear about case studies and examples, and get the tools you can use to enhance the meaning of your work for you and for the team.

Chapter 6: Agree what you will deliver, when – journey planning and scope setting
Agreeing on what the team will deliver, by when, is a first step in any team.

Chapter 7: Ways to work together – rules of engagement to keep teamwork strong
The way a team works together should be conscious and agreed, not based on old habits or the way things have always been done. When a team commits to specific behaviours and ways of working, they can hold each other to account and get the most from each other. Get advice on how to positively intervene to improve your team’s ways of working, and understand how to use these tools to agree how to work together and safely reset any ineffective team behaviours.

Chapter 8: Dealing with conflict – how to intervene if there’s already an issue in your team
Relationships between team members can be difficult, and teams will inevitably face conflict. If you are in a team in conflict, understand why intervention is so important, and the tools to help you to set roles and expectations to avoid conflict, manage it when it does arise, restore harmony, and deal with difficult behaviours in your team.

Chapter 9: Get support from leaders – how to manage upwards and get your leaders on your side
The environment the team works in makes a big difference to how effective the team is. If the team is not sponsored by decision-makers and key influencers, or does not support the organisation’s direction of travel, the efforts of the team can be wasted. Find out how you can manage upwards, and the tools to help you get the support you need from the leaders who can support your team.

Chapter 10: Engage your stakeholders – how to keep stakeholders constructively involved
Every team works on behalf of a wider group, and keeping those stakeholders updated can be difficult. If you give them too much information, you can get thrown off track if they interfere, but if you keep information back, you risk not getting support or approval at later stages. Learn how to balance just the right amount of stakeholder engagement, and the tools that give your stakeholders regular, useful and constructive updates that don’t hold your teamwork back.
