“One parable, well told, is worth a thousand rules. In this parable Mark deftly captures how he and his colleagues at Chick-fil-A have managed to tap into the very essence of what allows teams to become the best version of themselves—great talent, incredible skills, and a tight sense of community. If you are seeking the same for your own team or business, read The Secret of Teams.”
—Marcus Buckingham, New York Times bestselling author of First, Break all the Rules and Now, Discover Your Strengths

“Teamwork is still the ultimate competitive advantage. The Secret of Teams will help you take your team to the next level. When a team is not firing on all cylinders, everyone on the team knows that. How is your team doing? Teams don’t fail because they want to fail; they fail because they don’t know how to succeed. Let Mark Miller show your team how to succeed.”
—Matthew Kelly, New York Times bestselling author of The Dream Manager and Off Balance
