In this timeless guide on maximizing teams to achieve outstanding business success, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Who''s Got Your Back , and Never Eat Alone distills his years of experience coaching teams at Fortune 500 companies and startup unicorns to optimize team performance. The world''s best teams don''t win because of leadership alone. They win because of teamship. Yet when it comes to success, it is leaders who are lauded; too little attention is given to the transformation of the team itself. We''ve all but ignored how to extract billions of dollars of shareholder value from the interdependency of talent in teams, Keith Ferrazzi argues. Upgrading teams is one of the least curated and under-leveraged opportunities for success. It is time to focus on teamship. But first we must reinvent our understanding of what teamship is and how it functions in a work world that is significantly more volatile, networked, hybrid, diverse, and inclusive than even a decade ago. New thinking about the false and debilitative assumptions that drive teams to underperform is overdue. We need to capture the bold spirit of co-creation and human ingenuity that drives teams like Astro Teller''s Google X to strive for and sustain innovation. In Teamship , Ferrazzi shares the approach that drives his coaching practice--the playbook he has used to reboot team performance at major brands, including Mastercard, Intel, Starbucks, and General Motors, along with fast-growth unicorns like MongoDB, and Scopley and governments like Bhutan and NGOs like the World Bank. Drawing on more than two decades of deep study with colleagues from the Ferrazzi Greenlight Research Institute, he identifies ten key shifts to unlock the potential of any team, accompanied with 20 High Return Practices that quickly turn each shift into a new team habit. Using the tools that have successfully rebooted team performance at Fortune 500 companies and unicorn brands, Teamship can help any organization experience innovation and exponential growth. ...

ELEVATE LEADERSHIP TO TEAMSHIP.

In today’s volatile, fast-paced, and decentralized business environment, even the most talented leaders can’t succeed alone—they need to mobilize the full potential of the team.

The world’s highest-performing organizations under­stand they need more than leadership to win—they need teamship. Teamship is a profound shift from today’s hierarchical model to sharing the load among a team that elevates one another and the organization to achieve exponential results.

Based on more than twenty years of research with more than three thousand teams, world-renowned coach and bestselling author Keith Ferrazzi has cracked the code on what defines the top 15 percent of teams. In Never Lead Alone, Ferrazzi brings to life what is expected of teammates in teamship’s new agile, inclusive, innovative, and challenge culture. Teamship combines:

1. Co-elevation behaviors—the teammates’ com­mitment to pushing one another higher in aligned pursuit of the mission, and
2. twenty-first-century collaboration processes, prac­tices, and tools to transform team performance.

Through rigorous data, dozens of high-return prac­tices, and vivid case studies you will learn:

• the 10 critical shifts to teamship, including peer-to-peer accountability, personal trust, shared feedback, team resilience, and adopting agile ways of working;
• how to agree on a new high-performance, high-integrity team social contract; and
• approaches to leveraging collaborative technology and AI.

Never Lead Alone is an essential step-by-step road map for every teammate and all leaders on their team’s journey from average to extraordinary.
