Free teleclass: Great Work and your team

Tom Heck, President of IATF (International Association of Teamwork Facilitators) is hosting a Great Work teleclass a week from today – 1pm on Wednesday 28th.

This will be a fun, practical and interactive session – and free to boot.

It’s based on my Find Your Great Work book – and you can read some nice things said about that below.

In the teleclass you’ll learn

• What’s the difference between Great Work and Good Work – and whether you should care or not.
• How to help a team or an organization focus on the work that makes the most difference – and how to deal with the work that doesn’t
• Two words that will significantly increase the power of your facilitation questions

So jump on in – the water’s fine…

“If I had to pick a person to have dinner with, when I need to be prodded and challenged and inspired to think about the things I really am committed to think about for myself and what I’m doing, I’d pick Michael Bungay Stanier. He has an ability to shake our tree and make us more conscious and responsible about what we know but aren’t willing to admit we know yet. And the best part – he makes it easy and fun. Great work, Michael!”

In the world of teamwork there is something we call “synergy”. When a group of individuals work together with passion and focus, they produce a result that is much greater than the sum of the individual effort. When interviewed, team members will use the word “magical” to describe these types of experiences. Creating teams that work in this way are what managers dream of. For too many managers the dreams are never realized because they don’t know how to help their team members do more Great Work. I love Michael’s book “Find Your Great Work” because it provides a powerful, step-by-step system managers can use to help coach their team members to making the shift from good (or even bad) work to great work. How many team and leadership development books have you read that leave you wondering how to implement the author’s wisdom? This book is different. Michael literally maps it out for you. We’ve entered a new age in teamwork – - the inspiration age – - and this book will help managers build inspired teams.
