SECOND PRINTING In a world demanding 'management innovation' to solve complex challenges, the significance of team collaboration cannot be underestimated. Defined as a marked departure from customary ways in which management's work is performed, it's described in Game of Teams: Discover How to Become a Collaborative Leader, as a new framework to develop team leaders (and teams). Written as a business allegory, Game of Teams is a story about a team leader's development and the importance of coaching to become a collaborative leader. Author, Winsor Jenkins introduces an innovative, yet practical framework to support the development of collaborative leaders whose teams produce positive results. Note, this book is a sequel to his first book, The Collaborator, where our business world is compared to the game of soccer - an environment where people must effectively collaborate to succeed! Embedded in this framework is an 'operating platform' made up of several team principles and essential competencies. The principles come from the game of soccer and mirror a successful soccer team's behavior on the field. Essential competencies are aligned with these principles and come from the Polaris Competency Model; applied they describe a collaborative skill set. Combined, they provide a developmental pathway to unlock the collaboration-code and produce positive results. As the story unfolds, we follow the learning and development journey of a newly promoted team manager, Jim Hernandez. He is confronted with the need to develop a nonperforming team.

“Fiery, but mostly peaceful protests after police shooting.”“It’s Not, Generally Speaking, Unruly.”CHOP was an Important Experiment in Democracy.”In the summer of 2020, America was under siege by radical ANTIFA actors across the country.  But if you were only reading mainstream headlines, you probably have no idea just how bad it really was. As homes and businesses were being burned to the ground and livelihoods were being destroyed, corporate media engaged in a full-scale attempt to gaslight the American people, pushing Orwellian narratives about the violent riots by mislabeling them as peaceful, democratic demonstrations, all seemingly to bolster their biased political views. But one intrepid reporter was on the ground at all the major riots and witnessed what really happened — and is telling the full story for the first time.In his explosive new book, Julio Rosas presents the definitive account of what really happened that summer, exposing the truth behind countless misleading headlines and taking readers inside the shocking and heartbreaking destruction the media refused to cover. Rosas’ groundbreaking reporting of the biggest and most destructive riots that gripped the nation in recent memory — including Kenosha, Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, and more — decisively uproots the prevailing bogus narratives about destructive woke mobs and sheds much-needed light on the truth about what happened. Small businesses and citizens of targeted cities are still sifting through the rubble left behind by rioters while the media continues to turn a blind eye. Rosas’ shocking account highlights the ways in which this fallout continues to haunt and devastate communities even to this day. Thrilling, suspenseful, and packed cover-to-cover with jaw-dropping facts and never-before-told eyewitness accounts, Fiery but Mostly Peaceful pulls back the curtain and sets the record straight on a series of radical events across the country that, despite the media’s attempts to convince Americans otherwise, were anything but peaceful.
