The book is organized clearly, easy to read, and augmented by fun graphics. It includes big-picture templates as well as specific in-depth personal stories to help you develop your own path as a leader or member of teams.
The Altus authors have created a definitive, up-to-date, and holistic resource for creating, observing, and optimizing teams. The book’s messages are founded on the comprehensive discipline of Generative Leadership and then amplified through the experiences of the authors, their clients, and other contributors. Kudos to all whose talents and experiences have played a role in this significant accomplishment!
What especially surprised me, though, is how this book gave me unexpected insights as I prepared to present my first art workshop with my art partner. It was a great reminder that teams can be as small as two people. There was much widom here that helped me and my partner clarify our communication processes and roles. Were were able to reflect on many of the learnings and discuss them in advance - it helped inform us to deliver a highly successful workshop - and one where we both left feeling great about our team/partnership.
I highly recommend!

The book doesn’t just explore the ‘What?’ but is looking at the’How to?’ with a focus on ’How to ask the right questions!’.
It’s a brilliant read and recommendation for existing and potential leaders.
