Why do some teams thrive while others fail?

We call the greatest of sports teams a dynasty. We envy the culture at companies where employees love going to work. Those in a dysfunctional family dream about the loving family next door. Some small but courageous military units performed so well that they shifted the course of an entire battle. You might think the answer is easy, leadership of course. Sure, that’s crucial, but what if I told you that without certain other pivotal team members, your team could fail?

As a member of the inaugural flight deck crew of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, Darren Sapp had a front row seat for excellence in action. That team accomplished amazing success but not without lessons in tragedy. He has witnessed a dozen other teams since and watched their rise, but sometimes their fall. You’ve probably read a dozen books on leadership, but Sapp brings you one focused on teamwork. He’ll show you the ingredients the good ones depend on and how the bad ones suffered because they didn’t follow the recipe. He’ll provide you with the key indicators to find the right team to join or how to fix the one you’re on. The good news is that any team can build a winning model with the right tools. Sapp will show you the way.
