In a team situation, many issues -- like lack of trust and commitment, unresolved conflicts, and the inability of individuals to understand how their actions impact the rest of the team -- can stop even the most promising groups from delivering great results.

Customer Reviews

A great guide book for quick Team EI activities!
Dr. Lynn has done it again with another exceptional book on Emotional Intelligence (EI).

I especially like that the book is designed with a quick introduction to EI for those who need a refresher or if you hand it to a manager with no EI experience.

The book is neatly organized with a tables listing all the activities and requirements at a glance and then you turn to the specific activity to go into more detail.

I recommend this as an excellent resource for a manager who wants to find a quick team activity or an experienced trainer looking to expand their repertoire.

Fantastic!!!
Fantastic, great book for busy managers. You can pick up this book and thumb through it and find an activity to meet your goal, all within minutes. Great resource for team-building.

Outstanding
As a very useful tool in developing emotional intelligence in a variety of situations, this book is a major resource in my working library.
