Synopsis

Tim Arnold has spent over two decades helping leaders manage complexity, increase resilience, and deliver results within organizations such as the United Nations, Compassion International, Royal Bank of Canada, Allstate Insurance, Toyota, and Siemens. His popular book, Lead with AND, focuses on helping leaders unleash the superpower of Both/And thinking in an Either/Or world.

Are you tired of dreading Monday morning? Does working in a dysfunctional team drain your energy and leave you feeling defeated? If so, this playbook is your ultimate guide to breaking free from this cycle and unlocking your team’s full potential.

Let’s face it, most teams don’t work. Dysfunction, drama, and division run rampant, making your workweek feel like a never-ending battle. But there’s hope!

While other teams shy away from tension, you're going to learn to embrace it. As you tap into the power of healthy tension in these five key areas, your team will transition from being unproductive to becoming unstoppable.

1. Build trust by focusing on tasks AND relationships.
2. Increase engagement by leveraging structure AND flexibility.
3. Have courageous conversations through truthful AND tactful communication.
4. Align your team to win by promoting collaboration AND independence.
5. Unleash ownership by increasing empowerment AND accountability.

This book does not provide you with miracle cures or magical formulas. What it does offer is something even more valuable: an actionable plan. By implementing the “plays” outlined in this book, you will set your team on the path to success.

Life is simply too short to settle for working in a dysfunctional team!
