No More Team Drama: Ending the Gossip, Cliques, & Other Crap That Damage Workplace Teams

Are you a leader who is tired of your time, attention, and energy getting devoured by team drama? Gossip. Infighting. Complaints. Cliques. Drama is what occurs when team members aren’t given the tools or support they need to rise above stress, selfishness, and disagreements. Team drama wreaks havoc on organizational health. It damages morale, productivity, engagement, and retention. Drama leads to customer complaints, lost revenue, and a talent exodus. It also sucks the life out of every manager it touches, monopolizing their time and obliterating their spirit. This is why leaders at every level, in every industry, have a duty to build team unity and prevent team drama. No More Team Drama deftly merges research in psychology, organizational development, and employee engagement with the author’s practical experience training front-line leaders from all over the U.S. The result is an indispensable manual on improving the quality of interactions between employees in the workplace. Cure for the Common Leader author Joe Mull describes exactly how to transform a group of employees into a band of collaborators committed to working hard, getting along, and wowing customers. In other words: No. More. Team. Drama.

Cure for the Common Leader: What Physicians & Managers Must Do to Engage & Inspire Healthcare Teams

“Written for physicians, practice managers, unit directors, chief nursing officers, or anyone else serving as someone’s boss in a healthcare setting, this book is a powerful primer on successfully building teams and leading people.” Why are some healthcare teams polluted by conflict, gossip, and lack of effort, while others work hard, get along, and wow patients? Research says it’s the boss that makes the difference. The most engaged and inspired healthcare teams don’t get that way by chance. They are led by physicians and managers who create the conditions necessary for people to thrive. Yet many leaders in healthcare settings lack insight into what employees must experience to be at their best, every day. Cure for the Common Leader translates the latest research on leadership, employee engagement, and motivation into SEVEN actions physicians and managers must take to engage and inspire healthcare teams. With more than 14 years of experience training leaders, Joe Mull packs each chapter with tips, ideas, strategies, and exercises to help physicians and managers get their teams firing on all cylinders.
