Do you want to build winning teams or championship teams?
Winning teams are results-obsessed. Any result will do no matter how low the bar-whatever it takes to compare favorably with The Competition. These teams are built from the outside-in. Decisions are made after asking questions like: "How will this look?" "How will this feel?" and, most importantly, "How will we compare?"
Championship teams are driven by a purpose that transcends winning. Champions don't compare - they compete based on the origin of compete, 'to strive together.' Championship teams are built from the inside-out. Decisions are made after asking: "Will this align with who we are?" and, most importantly, "Will this make us better?"
Today we live in a world of ambiguity. Young people are entering a workplace that is increasingly disruptive and unpredictable. Seeking to work collaboratively is no longer sufficient to meet this challenge. Simply "working together" was perfect for Henry Ford's assembly line. But in today's rapid change economy "striving together" is required because productivity and the ability to constantly innovate have become the keys to success.
Winning teams are focused on competing externally. They are built to project a certain image. Championship teams are built to innovate. They compete internally and create their own best practices - which prepares them for anything The Competition throws at them!
In Strive Together, Jeff Moore provides business leaders with a framework for building teams that achieve beyond expectations in a rapid change environment and helps leaders in education understand how to prepare young people to thrive in ambiguity!
