After twenty years as a corporate executive when he created for his final employer, PepsiCo, a highly successful leadership team, Douglas Gerber followed the suggestion of his mentor, Leadership Coach Marshall Goldsmith, to teach executives how to build High Performance Leadership Teams.

The fundamentals of Team Quotient (TQ) is based on a 10-year study with 108 teams from Fortune 500 and other global companies, on the essential elements of High Performance Teams. Using numerous case studies from the companies with which he has worked, Douglas describes how he helped to turn mediocre and even dysfunctional teams into High Performance and WINNING teams with measurable results.

Douglas’ method for building High Performance Leadership Teams has been proven to work in companies across a vast array of industries. An Operating Manual is included for leaders who are ready to transform their teams and WIN every time.

This brilliant book is an unmissable companion for those who truly want to build and maintain a not just functional, but high performance team. To quote Douglas R. Gerber It is imperative to shift from expressing a big personal ego, to developing a big team ego .
-Carlo Im Head of Kering Asia Pacific

-Dudley Slater, Amazon Bestselling Author of Fusion Leadership CEO Integra Telecom
There is no I in a team . Everyone knows the importance of a winning and successful team. Yet the concept of TQ is insightful and highlights what it takes to build such a high performing team!
-Ir. Dr. Kelvin KY Leung, Chief Executive Officer, Asia Pacific DHL Global Forwarding
The concept of Team Quotient, developed by Douglas Gerber, is a sophisticated way to measure and track teams over time. The old concept of team-building is outdated-it can t be measured effectively and it can t be tracked with validity or reliability. Team Quotient demystifies transformation to help leaders consistently create high performing teams. Leadership teams can stop pushing team members, and team members are enrolled in collectively pulling themselves up to high performance .
On a personal note, as a coach to high performing leaders as well as the leader of my own team, I devoured this book. I highly recommend you grab a copy immediately and take your team through the TQ Assessments .
-Rich Litvin, Founder of 4PC
The single most important aspect of achieving outstanding business performance is building and developing High Performance Teams. Mr. Gerber does an outstanding job of outlining a step by step approach to achieving this while providing excellent case studies and anecdotes to help through the implementation process. I highly recommend this book.
-Robert Foye, Chief Operating Officer, Treasury Wine Estates Former Vice President, Coca Cola
An extremely practical, informative and easy to read book that through a combination of common sense and real life stories, guides you through the perennial problem of how to get the most from your teams.
-Adrian Adrian Steeples, Vice President EMEA, Quaker
This insightful book on High Performance Teams is loaded with examples of business and sports teams, and makes the compelling case for focus on team development
-Richard Morgan, VP Global Chief Commercial Officer, Damco International
A real page-turner for those currently or aspiring to lead high performance teams. This compelling book provides a compendium of tried and tested tools, techniques and processes designed to build high performance teams
-Ken McGowan, Former Regional Director Asia, Lloyds TSB Bank Regional Consultant, Asia, Chartered Institute for Securities Investment
I like the Team Charter concept in this book, one gets excited already for the next leadership team event just by reading this chapter. I am convinced with such kind of signing-off, on the different Team Charter elements by each team member, the commitment is there right from the beginning
-Norbert Hentschel, Regional Managing Director, Asia Pacific China at Nord-Lock
What you can t measure you can t manage. Leadership and team performance can of course be measured by the associated business result. However using KPI s as feedback and a guidepost to improve team performance and leadership is only useful at the end result, and is not diagnostic in nature. Team Quotient gives both, leader and teams, the opportunity to measure and improve way before the business result becomes evident. And it s a good fundament for sustainable growth and stability.
-Roman Kupper, President APAC, Member of Doehler Group Board
Team Quotient is the insider s guide to building teams that win. In his cutting edge book, Douglas Gerber shares decades of personal experience with leading multinationals in some of the most challenging markets, leading and training platinum winning management teams. In Team Quotient, Gerber offers rare insights into the practical steps that will create competitive advantage .
-Laurence Brahm, Author of 30 books including Fusion Economics Art of the China Deal , Founding Director, Himalayan Consensus Institute
Team Quotient is an impressive and most useful overview of leadership team transformation, and an encyclopaedia of methods and tools in an easy to digest format. The case studies are informative, enlightening and well-integrated.
-Glenn Frommer, Managing Partner, ESG Matters IVS, Former Head of Sustainability, Mass Transit Railway Corporation
This book is the soup to nuts for building, nurturing and measuring High Performance Teams. Many talented executives struggle when it comes to maximizing team effectiveness. Douglas breaks it down into manageable and practical bits which are both intuitive and effective, based on over 15 years of hands-on practice and research with leadership teams.
-W. John Hoffmann, Principal XRG - Exceptional Resources Group
Team Quotient written by Douglas R. Gerber successfully explores an idea of leadership and team transformation that returns humanity to the corporate world. The idea of winning and the high performance of teams is transformed into a combination of factors that integrate the idea of success as a result of collective effort, empathy and understanding. It is an essential and refreshing reading to rethink the idea of leadership under the optics of the TQ.
-Germ n Mu oz, Founder Director at Bright Hong Kong
I wanted to sincerely thank you for your book on Team Quotient ! This is an exceptionally in-depth view and understanding of what it takes to build a company. Companies cannot grow without their leaders understanding how to build teams. It is absolutely essential .

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Five years ago, when I started writing Team Quotient: How to Build High Performance Leadership Teams that Win Every Time , I had been planning to offer best practices from my years of creating successful teams as both a corporate executive and consultant. It soon became apparent that this book would be so much richer with the stories and case studies of a diverse range of teams that followed the steps to achieve High Performance.
Therefore, I would first like to acknow
