Informationen zum Autor Brian Miller was born in 1944, in Christchurch, UK. He started his career training as a carpenter and finished as an architectural designer and self-employed builder. Brian always had an interest in writing--submitting comedy material to comedians, radio and television. Following a chance meeting with Nick Clabburn, a lyricist, at Brian's daughter's art gallery, he decided to try his hand at lyric-writing. With positive encouragement from Nick, that has resulted in this booklet. Brian hopes that anyone purchasing the booklet will have as much enjoyment from it as he has had writing it. Klappentext There's a palpable feeling that clouds many team meetings and keeps them from being productive: overpoliteness. Discover the antidote to this crutch and get your team back on track. Zusammenfassung This guide provides the antidote to the common tendency of conflict, giving managers, team leaders, members, and facilitators the practical support they need to battle “the nice trap” and start getting results. Conflict naturally exists in most organizations--even in those that never make waves. In the case of the more subdued teams, author Brian Miller explains that there’s a much deeper problem going on: the conflict doesn’t go away, but instead it manifests itself in passive-aggression, mediocrity, and a molasses-like inability to get anything done. In Nice Teams Finish Last , you will learn: how to hone skills such as constructive criticism, provide clear and honest communication, and discover how to lean in to the kind of conflict that drives innovation and quality without hurting feelings or creating enemies. Clear, sharp feedback, and constructive challenges are just what teams need to go from NICE to BOLD and reap all the benefits that come with that radical transformation--including more satisfaction with your workplace culture (not less). Complete with helpful team assessments and easy-to-use planning sheets, Nice Teams Finish Last provides the eye-opening tools teams need to achieve very nice results!
