Team Up!: Applying Lessons from Neuroscience to Improve Collaboration, Innovation and Results, Will Be Free to Download Tomorrow (9/15/2014)

Frode Svensen and Lori Shook bring you their first book called, “Team Up!: Applying Lessons from Neuroscience to Improve Collaboration, Innovation and Results”.  T his book is about how to create more collaborative teams . Frode and Lori have applied lessons from neuroscience to typical leadership and team challenges. These lessons show us that our natural drive for survival is part of the problem.

They follow a fictitious – yet very real - management team as they learn and grow through a culture change programme. A leadership training programme provides the team with brain-based self-awareness and self-management skills. Team members are then supported as they implement new skills and behaviours together. They learn how to manage their emotional reactions, they begin to view themselves as a collective and consciously create a more collaborative team culture.

The authors give us just enough theory to understand what is going on in the team and their individual brains without creating a neuroscience textbook. We get to know the team and some very common challenges. The presented solution is no quick fix. Instead, we get an integrated approach to change that we can apply in any organization.

The messages from the authors are clear: train leaders in their teams and support them as they implement their new skills together. Base your programmes on available science.

“ If you lead, coach or train teams, I believe this book is going to help you a lot. The authors weave together the best of modern (applied) neuroscience, with their years of practical experience working with individuals, teams and organizations. Succinct. Accessible. Loads of practical examples. Love the chapter summaries. Highly recommended. ” – Stephan Mitten

“ This book is very interesting both in terms of content and how the content is built. When you read the book you are taken on a personal development journey - The challenges at Sekhmed are well recognized, the management team easy to recognize and connect with. You get curious about what will happen. The journey continues through relevant theories and practical solutions how to facilitate the process. When you read the book you are is led through the "knowing and doing gap”. The authors know that experiential learning is key success factor for implementation, as well as your brain don’t know the difference between a role play and reality. You will definitely be “doing” differently in your own reality after the book. Read it and develop your leadership skills! ” – Lisbeth Hedberg
