The Pitch

Who’s Afraid of the Big, Bad Wolf?Tyler, a team leader at Selco Industries, trudges into the office, worrying about his job. His boss, Liz, has asked him to stop by and chat about his team’s weakening performance and deteriorating morale. While Tyler works hard on his leadership skills, and his team likes him a lot, he can’t control a lot of what’s happening at Selco. Upper management keeps changing technologies, priorities and staffing levels, all of which undermine his team’s sense of mastery and security. To make matters worse, a constant merry-go-round in Selco’s top leadership keeps adding uncertainty about the organization’s direction and future. All of this keeps Tyler’s team feeling resentful and anxious and underperforming. During his meeting with Liz, she insists that he keep making the business case for all the changes. “Look,” she says, “the company’s moving in the right direction. I’m counting on you to sell it to your people and get them back on track.” Tyler tries every persuasion technique he knows, but nothing works. Then one day Tyler confides in his friend Jackie Barretta. “I’m stuck,” he admits. “Oh,” she says, “This isn’t a business problem, Tyler. It’s all about fear. Cold hard logic never conquers fear.” She goes on to describe how peoples’ emotions determine whether their team will turn in a stellar performance or languish unhappily in a swamp of mediocrity. “I’ll teach you a couple of emotional self-management techniques that will help your team handle all the scary stuff.”

Each day for a week Tyler convenes a 15-minute team meeting, which he begins by stating his own worse fear. “I’m afraid we’re never going to master the new design tool. We won’t be able to deliver the software our customers want.” Jane chimes in, “Our new boss is going to cancel our project. I’m already polishing my resume.” The team visibly writhes with anxiety as they let themselves feel the full force of their emotions. The shame of failure flushes their faces. The fear of financial ruin burns in their stomachs. Then, after a few minutes of venting, Tyler guides the group through an exercise designed to shift their emotions from negative to positive. Soon Tyler’s boss notices a new vitality in Tyler’s team. Everyone seems freshly energized, exuding so much more confidence and enthusiasm. Best of all, they’re concentrating on solutions rather than

Page 3: The Pitch - michaelsnellagency.commichaelsnellagency.com/ftp___michaelsnellagency.com/…  · Web viewTeradata, 2004 to 2010 . CXO Media’s CIO Executive Council, 2001 to 2011

problems. Liz takes him aside one morning. “I don’t know how you did it, Ty, but you’ve turned your gang around.” He just smiles and hands her his well-worn copy of Jackie Barretta’s book, Primal Teams: Harnessing the Incredible Power of Group Energy.

Emotion is a team sport. It, more than anything else, spells the difference between stellar and mediocre team performance. Emotions spread like sheet lightning, either firing up or frying each person’s brain. They determine whether the group attacks its work with a “Never say die, can-do” attitude or seizes every opportunity to make excuses for why they just can’t get the job done. Thanks to new discoveries in neuroscience, we now know that emotions operate independently of our logical minds and that we can most effectively influence them by tackling them directly, rather than by trying to fix them with rational thinking. Primal Teams: Harnessing the Incredible Power of Group Energy applies this knowledge to the workplace and shows how anyone can create and sustain the elite teams that get spectacular results. In its pages readers will learn the latest principles of team psychology as they read true stories of team success and failure. But the book goes far beyond merely explaining the principles of effective team building; it arms readers with an array of practical tools that will help them harness the incredible power of group energy.

The Competition

Readers will add Primal Teams to their libraries because it represents the next important step in our understanding of team performance. Like many other popular business books, it offers insights from the latest research in psychology and neuroscience. Unlike many of its competitors, however, it invariably connects these insights to enhancing productivity, getting better results and improving the bottom line. The book will sit on a shelf that contains two different kinds of books: 1) those that explore the world of Emotional Intelligence and 2) those that reveal the most recent discoveries in neuroscience. Primal Teams blends elements of these subject areas into a unique perspective on team performance. Primal Teams goes beyond the conventional treatment of emotions in business. Current Emotional Intelligence books deal with the basics of optimism, cooperation, relationship building, and controlling negative emotions. Primal Teams takes those concepts to the next level, explaining how to create the powerful, positive emotional states that produce elite teams, the sort of teams that get the spectacular results demanded by today’s increasingly complex and demanding business environment. To paraphrase Santayana, “Principles without application are the assassins of high performance.” Taking that observation to heart, the author of Primal Teams gives readers the tools and techniques they need to enhance individual, team and leadership performance. She not only delineates the latest theories about harnessing the incredible power of group energy, she shows readers exactly how to do it.Readers will put Primal Teams on their desk alongside:

Primal Leadership: Learning to Lead with Emotional Intelligence (Harvard Business Press, 2004) by Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee. The authors stress that a leader must first and foremost create resonance and positive feelings in those they lead. The leader, they argue, must accept full responsibility for the proper emotional state of an organization by always displaying a

Page 6: The Pitch - michaelsnellagency.commichaelsnellagency.com/ftp___michaelsnellagency.com/…  · Web viewTeradata, 2004 to 2010 . CXO Media’s CIO Executive Council, 2001 to 2011

high-energy, optimistic mood. That mood ignites a chain reaction of similar emotions in the whole organization. When that happens, empowered employees will more likely accomplish their goals and satisfy new and old customers.

Primal Teams explains many factors influence a worker’s emotional states, not just the leader, but also fellow team-mates, the work environment, and the employee’s self-management of their emotions. Whatever their source, optimal heartfelt emotions light up areas of the brain that boost creativity and cognitive skills. The book provides a broader picture of the ways leaders and team members can shape a group’s emotions and harness the power of group energy. Readers will benefit from its hands-on, boots-on-the-ground, down-to earth approach.

The Emotionally Intelligent Team: Understanding and Developing the Behaviors of Success (Jossey-Bass, 2007) by Marcia Hughes and James Bradford Terrell. The authors cover the basics of teambuilding and using emotion to strengthen a team’s performance. The methods they describe are the conventional methods, including defining a clear purpose, enabling team members to get to know each other, leadership actions that set the emotional tone for the team, and encouraging team members to listen to each other and express themselves clearly.

Primal Teams goes beyond the basics with an emphasis on turning weak teams into strong teams and strong teams into elite teams. It shows how to instill the emotions that evoke the most sought-after contemporary team competencies, from quickness, flexibility and resilience to innovation, complexity-management and the anticipation of customer needs. It explains that heartfelt emotion facilitates the highest level of team creativity and performance and presents unconventional techniques for shaping team emotions. Readers will benefit from practical advice on going beyond ordinary to extraordinary performance.

Quick Emotional Intelligence Activities for Busy Managers: 50 Team Exercises That Get Results in Just 15 Minutes (Amacom, 2007) by Adele Lynn. This book provides activities that can help teams build stronger bonds and deal with emotional issues, such as resolving conflict, building trust and commitment, dealing with anger and emotional triggers. The authors hope the activities will help team members get to know their team-mates.

Primal Teams also uses activities are designed to help team members connect with each other, but at a much deeper emotional level. In addition, these exercises build the super-energy that drives elite teams. With them a team that has already achieved a certain level of emotional intelligence can vault to the next level.

From Chaos to Coherence: The Power to Change Performance (HeartMath LLC, 2008) by Doc Childre and Bruce Cryer. The authors present a scientifically-based case for bringing more heartfelt emotion into business organizations. They explain how heartfelt emotion enhances the brain’s creative and cognitive abilities. Readers gain a few basic tools for helping individuals experience more of the heartfelt emotion that reduces stress and improves performance.

Primal Teams also sketches the scientific reasons for bringing heartfelt emotion into the workplace, but with stories and context and language tailored to a business audience. It offers tangible benefits that will help teams meet today’s perplexing business challenges. Stressing the connection between optimal emotions and the bottom line, it presents a broad array of practical techniques teams can use to generate those emotions.

Shine: Using Brain Science to Get the Best from Your People (Harvard Business Review Press, 2011) by Edward Hallowell. The

Page 8: The Pitch - michaelsnellagency.commichaelsnellagency.com/ftp___michaelsnellagency.com/…  · Web viewTeradata, 2004 to 2010 . CXO Media’s CIO Executive Council, 2001 to 2011

author uses his knowledge of brain science to counsel managers on ways to get the best performance from individuals and teams. He stresses the importance of selecting people based on their personal preferences, creating a climate of positive connection, providing a space for playful innovation and experimentation, helping people persist when the going gets tough, and making sure people know the organization values them.

Primal Teams draws from some of the same science as Hallowell and makes a similar business case for the role of emotions in teams, but Barretta starts with a different premise: heartfelt emotion in a team lights up the cognitive and creative centers of the brain, which is the key to thriving in a complex business environment. Plus the author writes in a more conversational style aimed at businesspeople.

Your Brain at Work: Strategies for Overcoming Distraction, Regaining Focus, and Working Smarter All Day Long (Harper Business, 2009) by David Rock. The author explains how individuals can tap into the latest discoveries in the field of neuroscience to become more effective and efficient in their jobs. He extols the benefits of storytelling, advises that people make key decisions during times of high mental energy, and provides pointers for maximizing mental resources.

Primal Teams explores the role of primal emotions in business performance, which is an entirely different avenue of neuroscience and leads to entirely different conclusions about how to improve business performance. The two books complement rather than contradict each other.
