Endorsements:
I know I will be referring to Teaming with ideas for guidance and reassurance many times in the future as we continue to strive to build parkrun into a household name throughout Africa.
Bruce Fordyce – Comrades marathon runner and President of parkrun South Africa
This book resonated with me as one of the most exceptional portrayals of TEAM dynamics that I have read. It should be on every South African leader’s bookshelf as the trajectories of organizations, SOE’s, and this country, would be different – for the better.
Dave Wilson – Director, Euro Steel
I appreciate the fact that the book takes a more pragmatic learning approach – using the role of neuroscience as an anchor in experiential learning. I like the concept of self-examination first, in leading towards examining your own role in teams. This resonates with my beliefs on self-leadership and self-mastery.
Nomkhita Mona – CEO, NMB Business Chamber
Tim, who has worked with my teams over the past 8 years, has come up with a little gem. The book is informative and practical, a must read for all leaders and team players. Examples and associations mentioned throughout can be applied in a business and personal capacity within a team environment.
Philip Herselman – Regional General Manager, Atlas Copco Power Technique South East Asia
Teaming with ideas covers the full gambit from a crash course in neuroscience to a deeper understanding of the human mind, how this impacts us as individuals, and how it can be used to turn us into higher performing people and teams. I highly recommend this book not only from leaders or participants in high performance teams, in all walks of life, but also a personal guide on a journey on self-awareness, wholeness and improvement.
