John C. Maxwell breaks down the personal characteristics necessary for becoming an effective team player.

Leadership expert John C. Maxwell follows his bestselling The 17 Indisputable Laws of Teamwork with this powerfully succinct companion book. Stating that great team players are developed from the inside out, Maxwell identifies the seventeen qualities that make up an in-demand team player while outlining how to embody those qualities.

In The 17 Essential Qualities of a Team Player, Maxwell outlines the successes of team players who have been:

  • Intentional–making every action count toward a long-term goal
  • Relational–focused on others
  • Selfless–willing to take a subordinate role for the sake of the team
  • Tenacious–hardworking and optimistic in the face of setbacks

This instructional resource shows how these qualities, among many others, impact the team and its success. If you want to have a better team, you have to develop better players.

The 17 Essential Qualities of a Team Player is not feel-good platitudes and abstract thinking, but concrete actions designed to improve the value of every team player.

I own both the hard copy book and the audio as sometimes it is easier to find the time to listen rather than read. I purchased it after a bad experience at work, and found the information put the situation into perspective for me. I was able to deal with the situation that allowed me to feel empowered, an not allow others to dictate expectation. This is something everyone regardless of a work/corporate/social/sports environment should read.

Good book

This version of the bridge was much more efficient with its short chapters than the unbridged version, and much easier to digest. I'm a proud owner of both.

This was a great book to read not just for leadership. It was a recommended read from my Pastor for leaders in the Care Ministry. We are going to build a strong team. My hope is that all leaders will take the opportunity to read this book and apply it as needed.

Loved it!
