From AudioFile
Here's a well-articulated lesson on how character influences team functioning. The author is a sales and communication expert who shows how an explicit code of honor helps team members connect positively with each other and function well with their customers and business partners. With infectious earnestness, Singer says that the team's mission should always come first, then the team members as a group, and then the individual. He discusses a wide range of organizational processes in this context, such as setting goals, selecting team members, developing people, overcoming obstacles, and using pressure to achieve results. Like all the authors in the Rich Dad's Advisor Series, Singer offers recommendations that are both inviting and practical.

This book wasn't exactly what I was expecting. I was expecting a book on how to pick advisors like accountants, real estate brokerss, lawyers, etc. However this book was about creating a team that works according to a "code of honor" that is created by the team.
Essentially the code of honor is a set of rules that the team creates and lives by in order to maintain a high level of accountability and performance. The idea makes sense as teams and people and general need rules by which to live by. Author Blair Singer does a good job of organizing the information and presenting it in an easy to read fashion.
On the downside, I wish there were more examples in this book to illistrate the points he's makes. A list of rules would have been nice, or the lists of rules that some other companies have come up with.
However other than that, the book is well done. Anyone wanting to build a team or wanting to improve the accountability of their existing team should pick up this book. 4 out of 5 stars.

This is a very good book on the subject of finding the type of people to work for you. What it fails to do is to point out the specialty people required to get a business running and growing. That is what I expected, after reading the title. One thing that totally put me off as I read this book. The author spoke of owning a shipping business and having a time pressure to get a shipment loaded. All of the laborers pulled together as a team, working long hours and extra shifts without complaining or asking for overtime pay. Who made the lions share of the money? Not the ones who did the hard labor, but he as the owner. Compensation was something not mentioned in this book. I very much like the concept of a 'code of honor', in which this book was almost completely based. I am still not really sure, after reading this book, what the difference between a code of honor and a mission statement is. A couple of great books that also cover this concept very well are: On My Honor I Will, and The Lost Secret of Phenomenol Success. This kind of book makes you think about your values, and what you want from life. I recommend it. Just remember, it may not be what you expect.

In the past 19 years I have read many books on my journey of self development and have found a lot of teachers within the books and the tapes. My two young highly developed children a boy 11 and a girl 9 that sit in the back of our car that listens to the tapes and complains about them, as they are not music. When I am away on business trips, they give Sonja, my wife grief, as they do not think like children. They know the magic words from some of the greatest teachers on this planet from the back seat of my car, the university on wheels. My children have no FEAR.
Blair Singer through his book has brought into my house a code and the magic of it has brought calmness to the family when I am away. Sonja now instead of screaming at them, just points to the fridge where we have our code. It is so simple and so easy, it is the WHY for any organisation on this planet that needs to drive a team of people in Business, Family, Sports, Government, It is truly as the title says the The ABC's of Building a Business Team That Wins : The Invisible Code of Honor That Takes Ordinary People and Turns Them Into a Championship Team
A wonderful mentor and teacher keeps telling me.
The person that knows HOW will always work for a boss.
The person that knows WHY will be the Boss.
This is defiantly the first book that makes sense in WHY to do it. It is the invisible code of honour that a, business owner just starting out, or that has been in business for years, needs to read this book with urgency and then implement the knowledge that are within the pages of this wonderful book.
This book is on my top shelf as a number one.
I recommend this book and it certainly is with the rest of the greatest teachers that have walked this planet.
Blair I thank you for bringing peace to my family and business.
