Expanding on The Core Protocols, this book is a roadmap for anyone who wants to lead or participate fully in the greatest team experience of their lives. It is short and practical, focused on implementation and tactics for making changes to bring about effective results fast.

Learn how to put in place the behaviors and commitments which will promote team emotional intelligence, and provide a psychologically-safe space for each individual to bring their best self to the group and perform optimally as a team.  

Each of the Core Protocols is explored in turn, along with actionable steps to put them into practice in a variety of settings. A great team deserves strong foundations, and this book will help you to achieve exactly that.
