Staying Humble: The Journey of Building a High-Performance Team - Paperback

by Patrick J. Hall (Author)

An Invitation To Readers

One of the greatest privileges in life is the opportunity to lead others. You can be a leader in your household, sports team or social network. You can also lead co-workers in big or small teams within your place of business.

To be an impactful leader, though, humility is essential. You must be willing to place the needs of others above your own. You will have to accept that you do not have all the answers to everything. You need to be willing to think differently and learn from past and present failures. And finally, you must take 100% ownership of the actions of those you lead.

If you have ever read a leadership or self-help book based on theory, principles, or practice and struggled to understand how you can apply what you learned to your own life-know you are not alone.

This book is about the journey of building a high-performance team through real-life examples all leaders can relate to regardless of their business industry.

In the course of my journey, I read many books by experts in the field. Their wisdom contributed to both my success and my mistakes. I found their ideas helpful, but ultimately had to rely on my own reading of the situation, my team members, and myself.

Place yourself in the story and apply it to some of the struggles you experience within your own leadership journey.

This book is structured so that it follows the consecutive stages of team-building incorporating insights from other experts that were pertinent to each particular stage. You can see how I adopted and adapted those ideas to form my own blueprint of best practices for building teams of any size.

I hope you can relate to the emotions, struggles, successes and failures I experienced while building a high-performance team.

My journey humbled me. What will your leadership journey do for you?
