Elevate your team's performance.

If you read (or listen to) nothing else on building a high-performing team from within, listen to these ten articles. We've combed through hundreds of Harvard Business Review articles and selected the most important ones to help you communicate more effectively, cultivate trust, build a learning and risk-taking culture, and transform your team from one of high potentials to one of high performers. From Tom Brady's advice on motivating your teammates to Amy Edmonson's best practices for building psychological safety, this book will inspire you to communicate openly and effectively; build unwavering trust, even from afar; establish foundational norms; align your team around a shared vision; create an environment of continuous learning; manage conflict and drive change; set ambitious goals and encourage your team to achieve them; and hold each other—and yourself—to high standards.

HBR's 10 Must Reads series focuses on the core topics that every ambitious manager needs to know: leadership, strategy, change, managing people, and managing yourself. Harvard Business Review has sorted through hundreds of articles and selected only the most essential reading on each topic. Each title includes timeless advice that will be relevant regardless of an ever-changing business environment.
