  The missing link between teams and performance? Emotional intelligence. 
   
   
   
  Great teams can sometimes feel like magic. It's hard to pin down just why they work so well. But what seems like magic is explainable, and replicable. It starts with team culture. 
   
   
   
  Much has been written about the power of emotional intelligence at the individual level, but little has been said about the benefits of this concept for groups. In this book, social and organizational psychologist and professor Vanessa Urch Druskat combines thirty years of research and team development to present a model for building and leading emotionally intelligent teams. She offers practical advice on how to create a solid foundation of team norms and behaviors; understand how team members support one another to reduce toxic conflict, demonstrate caring, and build a sense of belonging; support expression, build optimism, and solve problems proactively; and increase team trust, psychological safety, and innovation. 
   
   
   
  By listening to The Emotionally Intelligent Team, leaders and aspiring leaders alike will learn how to develop a strong team culture that motivates and sustains improved team collaboration and performance.

  Why do some teams thrive, while others struggle? 
   
   
   
  In the modern workplace, employees collaborate. Managers are expected to be effective team leaders and employees are expected to be valued teammates. But many teams struggle. Being part of a struggling team can be unpleasant, but it can also hurt your career and waste company resources. 
   
   
   
  In Teams That Work, Scott Tannenbaum and Eduardo Salas present the seven drivers of team effectiveness and the clearest recommendations on what really makes teams great. Applying the lessons they've learned from working with high-stakes, high-risk team situations to any kind of organization, they will dispel some of the most enduring myths (e.g., can you be both a star and a great team player?), feature the most useful psychological research, and share real-world illustrations of effective teams in action. Listeners will find actionable, evidence-based tips for being an effective team leader, a great team member, a supportive senior leader, or an impactful consultant.

  How to Save for a House While...

  The Money Mind

  You pay your rent on time every month, and every month it feels like you are funding someone else's house. When you look up what a down payment actually costs, the number seems so far off that you close the tab and tell yourself maybe next year.
  
  This audiobook gives you the Front Door Plan, a five-step system that starts where you actually are. You work out your real target number by ear, including closing costs and a move-in cushion. You learn which debts and habits genuinely block a mortgage and which ones you can stop worrying about. You set up a separate automated house fund with a starting amount as small as $150 a month, get a spoken rule for windfalls, learn where the money should sit so it stays safe, and hear exactly what a lender looks at when you are finally ready. Each step opens with a renter's story, a couple splitting a city apartment, a single nurse, a gig worker, and closes with one action for this week.
  
  The timeline is honest, years not months, and there are no promises about prices or rates. Just a plan you can start today and a number that gets closer every month. Press play, and take the first step toward your own front door.

  Accountability after Economic...

  Accountability after Economic Crisis reconstructs the captivating story of how different nations responded to the 2008 economic crisis, one of the most challenging economic downturns in modern history. Why did some countries look for explanations of the economic failure and seek to hold those responsible to account, while others looked the other way? If so, were certain methods more effective than others? Is there, in fact, a best way? 
   
   
   
  Iosif Kovras introduces an innovative framework to explain the varied political responses to an economic crisis, pushing the boundaries of traditional analysis by drawing on political economy, comparative politics, public administration, economic history, criminal law, and criminology. He identifies three distinct accountability mechanisms used by leaders: retribution—prosecuting those at fault; truth recovery—establishing commissions of inquiry to reveal the facts; official acknowledgment—issuing formal apologies. Zeroing in on each country in turn, he shows how these mechanisms were employed and with what effect. 
   
   
   
  Featuring original observations from a survey in Iceland and experimental data from a conjoint experiment, Accountability after Economic Crisis provides a thorough and engaging examination of how countries manage accountability in the wake of an economic crisis.
