第2章 Foreword

By Ken Blanchard

When it comes to writing a book about teams, I can think of few people more qualified than my friend, Mark Miller, Vice President of Training and Development for Chick-fil-A. Mark and I have known each other for more than a decade. Over the years, we've worked together on several projects in the marketplace and in the not-for-profit world. Soon after we met, he and I teamed up to write The Secret: What Great Leaders Know and Do, which has become an international best-seller.

Fortunately for readers, Mark has been a student and a practitioner of teams for the last twenty years. I'm glad he's committed to sharing what he's learned on that journey. An accomplished communicator, he brings clarity to the often complex subject of building winning teams. In The Secret of Teams, he shares elemental truths about teams that, if employed, can transform not only your team but every aspect of your business. In the pages that follow, he'll show you how to create teams that can sustain unprecedented levels of performance.

So let this book inspire you and your team to give your management, shareholders, vendors, partners, and customers more than they expect. Whether you're part of a huge corporation, a not-for-profit organization, or a small company with just a few employees, apply the principles and practices in The Secret of Teams to make your workplace come alive!
