Team Unity: A Leader's Guide to Unlocking Extraordinary Potential
Based on more than ten years of researching, observing, coaching, and building extraordinary teams, this entertaining and thought-provoking book demonstrates how to unify groups of all sizes to maximize performance.
Unity is the most influential factor in team performance and, although it is frequently discussed, it is often misunderstood. This book explains how disunity is the root cause of all team dysfunctions, and provides clear instructions on how to define, measure, and increase unity in your organization. Through entertaining and impactful stories, John Ross divides Team Unity into four components - focus, direction, trust, and conflict - and examines how they are related and measured. Notably, Ross introduces The Unity Formula: a simple equation useful for leaders at all levels in any organization to measure the team's current unity and identify areas for improvement.
Senior and middle managers in manufacturing, hospitality, and a range of other industries, as well as entry level employees and students of organizational behavior and HRM, will find this book an invaluable resource for understanding how to identify, measure and partake in the right steps to increase team performance.

Praise for this book
"As an NFL player, I saw games won and lost over team unity. As an executive leader, I see the same pattern. This book shows that team unity doesn't happen by accident. It's created through a trusted formula, and if followed, it works every time."
-Randy Grimes, 10-year NFL center for Tampa Bay Buccaneers, founder of Professional Athletes in Recovery, and author of Off Center
"Team unity is like gold. This book provides the tools to mine for it--within any team or industry. As a former executive leader charged with engaging 13,000 employees, I saw the stark value of team unity. Don't leave unity to chance; apply the Unity Formula. Your team will be happier, healthier, and higher-performing."
-Scott Carbonara, CEO of Spiritus Communications and author of Getting It Right When It Matters Most
"It is a struggle to find a resource that helps students grasp the concepts of team success and have fun while doing it. Team Unity fits this spot like a glove. It goes miles beyond simply adapting management concepts to the team situation by providing a practical formula with entertaining and relevant stories along the way."
-Jacki Perrmann-Graham, Assistant Professor of Management and Director of the Eva G. & Oakley Farris Leadership Academy in the Haile College of Business at NKU
