Being a great teacher is one thing, but leading a team, or team development, is an entirely different dynamic. Your successes are public, but so are your failures--and there's no specific rubric or curriculum to give you direction. Team development is an art form, and this book is your how-to guide to doing it effectively. You'll learn the administrative tasks that keep your team on track, and you'll gain access to a wealth of downloadable tools that simplify the \"getting organized\" process. Just as importantly, you'll explore what it means to be the kind of leader that can bring people together to accomplish difficult tasks. You'll find practical suggestions, tools, and clear instructions for the logistics of team development as well as for building trust, developing healthy communication, and managing conflict. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside these pages you'll find concrete guidance on: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDesigning agendas, making decisions, establishing effective protocols, and more\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBoosting your resilience, understanding and managing your emotions, and meeting your goals\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCultivating your team's emotional intelligence and dealing with cynicism\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUtilizing practical tools to create a customized framework for developing highly effective teams\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere is no universal formula for building a great team, because every team is different.
