Synopsis:

Where can a person go to learn how to become a better team player? Your choices are definitely limited. John C. Maxwell takes the pain out of knowing what makes a team tick. If you want to have a better team, you have to develop better players. Great team players, like great teams, are formed from the inside out.

In 17 Essential Qualities of a Team Player, Leadership expert John C. Maxwell presents a clear analysis of the personal characteristics necessary for becoming the kind of person every team wants—an effective team player. The book outlines successes of tenaciously hardworking and optimistic team players who are making every action count toward a long-term goal. These people, who are relationally focused on others, are selfless and willing to take a subordinate role for the sake of the team.  In his book, Maxwell shows how these qualities, and many others, impact the team and its success.

The qualities Maxwell teaches quickly take you to the heart of teamwork. Anybody can understand them and apply them -- whether at home, on the job, at church, or on the ball field. If you learn the 17 essential qualities of a team player, you can become the kind of person every team wants. If everyone on your team does it, there will be no holding you back.
