The 7 Commitments of a Great Team
Jon Gordon
From Jon Gordon, 17-time bestselling author, top leadership speaker, and the #1 consultant to elite CEOs, championship coaches, and high-performing teams in the NFL, NBA, and MLB, comes a powerful new fable on what it takes to build a truly great team.
What separates great teams from the rest? It's not just talent--it's commitment.
In The 7 Commitments of a Great Team, we follow the journey of Tim, a struggling leader facing declining business performance, low team morale, and self-doubt. While visiting his old college coach who is on his deathbed, Coach Richie reminds him of a lesson from years past: "Teammates are forever."
This poignant moment triggers a powerful flashback to Tim's past, where his team defied all odds and achieved something remarkable. As Tim reflects on that experience, he realizes that the same 7 Commitments that led to success back then can be applied to his current team--and to any team striving to achieve extraordinary results together.
Through engaging storytelling, real-world lessons, and actionable insights, Jon Gordon reveals the seven commitments that great teams must make to build trust, foster connection, overcome adversity, and achieve extraordinary success.
