The Rowers' Code: A Business Parable of How to Pull Together as a Team - and Win!

By Marilyn Krichko and Jane Rollinson

Book Overview

Each year, thousands of business stakeholders--from CEOs, senior executives, and department managers to mainline employees--climb into narrow 60-foot rowing shells and set out across rivers and lakes. As they learn how to row together--a process that requires focused communication and coordination--initial misunderstandings and general chaos are soon replaced with highly effective teamwork and goal-oriented success. The Rowers' Code dramatically portrays one company's intense experience and presents a simple, actionable set of truths about teamwork and communication that can be applied to every workplace scenario to supercharge performance. The book will teach you how to: Tap into the strength of peers. Maintain synchronicity with other members of your team. Work through issues directly with teammates. Personalize and powerfully leverage change. Unleash the effectiveness of the workgroup. Succeed in an increasingly competitive business landscape. Based on an overwhelming response to more than a decade of successful workshops, The Rowers' Code brings to life the authors' unique perspective on organizational team-building, drawing on proven, real-world results.
