NEED A SUPPLEMENT FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP TEAMWORK CURRICULUM? SPIRAL UP: THE SURPRISING SECRET TO GREAT TEAM RESULTS - a business fable based on the true-life experiences of business leaders who have been in the trenches. How This Book Can Assist You ¤ As a seamless case study for students moving from classroom to actual business experience. ¤ As a character development study about leadership and a team challenged by a time-to-market imperative. ¤ As a student business internship experience before actually participating in an outside business internship. ¤ As a script of questions for discussion using the ‘Reflections for Deeper Learning’ at the end of each chapter. The story opens with a challenge taken on by a leader who feels the need to assign leadership duties to a trusted colleague. However, the colleague won’t take on that responsibility. There are some ‘ah ha’ moments from the dog in the story that the students will sense, learn and enjoy. The Spiral UP model adds passion to the business team as they reach peaks and then experience a crash in the valley. Chapter after chapter the story climbs before arriving at the synchronicity of what their experiences teach them. The book’s team development and growth process will be another learning point in their professional and personal lives.
