The first steps to building successful teams are consistent and predictable. Leadership has the ability and the responsibility to create a positive climate within their teams. The first half of this booklet covers the ten intentional steps necessary to create the climate and develop an identity you envision for your team – They are your Core Covenants. The second half of the booklet gives examples of the covenants for twenty different teams of all levels and sports from around the country.
It’s a good overview of creating covenants that build team culture. In a decade of reading up on this kind of stuff, I’ve come across all the info and strategies, but Brown does a very good job putting it all in one place with actionable steps to implement the concept on any team. While there is nothing ground-breaking here, I would highly recommend coaches read it.
