“As a long-time student of team effectiveness, I found this book refreshingly practical—it challenged me to move beyond running meetings and inspired me to build a team with real purpose, trust, and results.”
Paddy Hull, Senior Director Global Talent & Leadership, Heineken
“Teams are now too big; too busy; and too many. No wonder they don’t work.
Nick Pope provides the antidote. A brilliant, practical guide on how to make teamwork work again.”
Steve Martin, bestselling author of Yes! 60 Secrets from the Science of Persuasion.
“Dr Nick Pope’s wry observations of what a team actually is and what can so easily go wrong will have you smiling in recognition.
He’s certainly put in the hours – deep academic research as well working with over a thousand teams across fifty different countries – and it really shows.
His highly practical insights into how to make collaboration (which goes beyond cooperation) real and effective should be read by anyone who is – or wants to be – a leader. Then teams would be a source of inspiration rather than frustration.”
Neil Mullarkey, Author of In The Moment, Shortlisted for Business Book of the Year 2024
“As a systemic team coach to many top executive teams, I see so many ineffective team meetings, because the team is unclear about its collective purpose, priorities and processes. Now hope is at hand with this excellent book by Nick Pope.
It brings together research and practice in a book that leaders at every level will recognise as both rigorous and practical, and is packed with many field-tested tools that leaders can put to work in their own teams immediately.
I thoroughly recommend it for team leaders working in any sector, and for team coaches.”
Professor Peter Hawkins, global thought leader and bestselling author of Leadership Team Coaching
