What makes teamwork really work? #TeamHabits
Hello Reader,
This week, my friend Charlie Gilkey is launching a new book, Team Habits: How Small Actions Lead to Extraordinary Results.
I was a big fan of his first book, Start Finishing: How to Go from Idea to Done. (See my video review here.) Charlie has once again proven his ability to navigate the complex world of productivity, but this time he's focusing on teamwork and collaboration, offering insights that are both profound and practical.
Team Habits is not just another book about teamwork; it's a guide to understanding the hidden dynamics that make teams thrive. From power dynamics to personal relationships, from embracing the hybrid future of work to navigating trends like the "quiet quitting" phenomenon, this book covers it all.
Like my own book, Marketing Yourself: How to Elevate your Personal Platform to the Next Level , the book offers a choose-your-own-adventure style of reading. You can identify which of the eight categories of Team Habits are causing the most issues, based on the Team Habits Assessment, and skip right to the chapters that matter most to you:
- Belonging
- Decision-making
- Goal-setting and prioritization
- Planning
- Communication
- Collaboration
- Meetings
- Core Team Habits
If you've ever felt that your team could be more productive, more cohesive, and more aligned with your organization's goals, this book is sure to be a valuable read.
๐ Transform your team's dynamics with #TeamHabits
This book focuses on the 4-10 closest professional relationships you have. Even as a solopreneur, I've found the frameworks and advice to be universally applicable to how I interact with clients, with my virtual assistants, and with my professional colleagues.
Team Habits will help you foster a sense of belonging within your team, enhance communication and collaboration, and shift the focus from personal productivity to systemic team dynamics.
What I like about this book is how the advice works for any member of a team. Whether you're a team leader, a team member, or an organization looking to transform the way you work, Team Habits offers actionable insights and practical tools to make teamwork work.

Hello Reader, For eleven years and counting, every year I have published an Annual Review and my New Years Resolutions on my blog. TL;DR - 2024 was a good year. The highlight was moving to Christchurch. My biggest wins were: Unpacking the family storage unit after 13 years Celebrating my 20-year wedding anniversary Recording and publishing the audiobook of Marketing Yourself Traveling to Australia twice, once for pleasure and once for business Mastering my new instrument, the juggledrum, to...
Hello Reader, It's that time of year, when we look back at 2024 to remember our victories, learn lessons from our failures, and prepare for the year ahead. "Look back to learn how to look forward." - Joe Girard Every year, I look back by doing an Annual Review. This consists of answering these 4 questions: What went well last year? What could have gone better? What are the most important lessons I have learned? Who will I be next year? For ten years I have published an Annual Review on my...
Hello Reader, ChatGPT has me much less enthusiastic about writing and publishing. In the nearly two years since consumer-facing AI chatbot apps have been made available, as a writer, I have found my own interest in writing has been diminishing. I find it harder to send newsletters, write my next book, and post on social media, because I have two choices: Continue writing by hand (which I love to do) and take more time about it than others do, or Use AI to spend more time editing bland copy,...
