Join the Next GBA Book Club Discussion in Savannah

What makes an ideal team player? Patrick M. Lencioni breaks it down in his book, “The Ideal Team Player”,  where he explores the key traits that define true teamwork.

The next meeting of the GBA Book Club will take place in person during the 2025 GBA Annual Conference in Savannah, Georgia on Thursday, April 24, from 4:45-5:45 p.m. Eastern Time. If you’re attending the conference, you’re welcome to join the discussion on “The Ideal Team Player”. Moderated by Tiffany Vorhies, PMP, NACE CIP-2 (SME) of GBA’s Multimedia Delivery Committee, the discussion will dive into Lencioni’s model and how it applies to geoprofessional firms, leadership, and workplace success.

Book Description: Being a team player who can work effectively with others to achieve a group goal is more important than ever in our interdependent and changing world. However, true team players are surprisingly uncommon, in part because many organizations are unclear on what being a team player means, and as a result, often end up hiring people who undermine teamwork. In “The Ideal Team Player”, Patrick Lencioni defines the model team player as a person who embodies the virtues of humility, hunger or drive, and people skills. He explains how to transform your organization by developing your current employees into team players and making sure you hire team players in the future.
