Me, Myself, My Team: How to Become an Effective Team Player Using Nlp [Paperback]

Angus McLeod (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 2001

In Me, Myself, My Team, Angus McLeod looks at the team within each of us, and at each of us as part of a team. Providing a wealth of ideas to help the reader find new perceptions and new courses of action, Me, Myself, My Team asks the questions: WHO is leading? WHO is following? WHERE are we pro-active? WHERE are we reluctant? HOW does the commentary inside our head get in the way of effective communication with others? By answering these questions with acute observations, Me, Myself, My Team sets the success criteria for high performing teams, and calculates effective solutions that will make a difference in both communication and motivation. Having its foundation in the belief that openness and flexibility are the primary keys to personal effectiveness, it promotes the need for real empowerment of the self and not the so-called 'empowerment' bestowed by senior managers. Upbeat, friendly and full of practical ideas, this is an exceptional management book that demonstrates how we really can achieve the greatest success by being a team player.

This review is from: Me, Myself, My Team: How to Become an Effective Team Player Using Nlp (Paperback)

"This book is designed to develop openness and flexibility by offering you a set of tools which may be used to create your own change and success both as an indvidual and as a Team achiever." (p. vii). The author borrows many key ideas from NLP(neuro-linguistic programming), learning science and coaching. This is a working manual. Much of the book is devoted to personal awareness and integration--developing the "Internal Team", as a basis for building the real "External Team". Readers are helped to achieve self-responsibility by working through Bateson's "Logical Levels", elaborated by Robert Dilts: environment, behaviours, capabilities/skills, beliefs/values, identity, purpose/vision. They are also led to the awareness of one's thinking and communication styles, inner dialogues and motivation needs. The matching of personal and Team agendas help to develop a Coaching Culture, where individuals are responsible for their own learning goals and motivation. The appendix gives a ranking tool for selecting one's action. This is not a book for reading from cover to cover. Its value might be greatly enhanced if people have a chance to attend the author's workshop first.
