Teams, Tools & Trials is a practical and candid guide for line leaders and HR professionals facing the everyday realities of leadership, collaboration, and organizational change.
Drawing from three decades of hands-on experience, Kevin J. Lewis has helped teams and leaders-at every level, from oil fields to Fortune 50 boardrooms-figure out how to work better together. In this book, he shares real-world strategies, field-tested tools, and hard-won lessons from the front lines of leadership and HR. With refreshing honesty, he tackles what most leadership books ignore: the frustration of being promoted into a role you're not sure you want, the disconnect between HR and operations, and the challenge of leading teams that aren't always aligned, engaged, or easy to manage.
Whether you're a new leader finding your footing, an HR partner ready to make real impact, or a senior executive looking for a fresh perspective, this book offers straight answers and a strategic path forward.
