4.0 out of 5 stars
Manual for integration and building of team culture, March 6, 2001
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.
