Gordon reveals the proven principles and practices that build great teams. He draws upon his unique team building experience in order to provide an essential framework for any "team" to work together more effectively and achieve superior results.

He also tackles the common pitfalls that cause teams to fail – while offering solutions to enhance a team's creativity, grit, innovation and growth.
In "The Power of a Positive Team" Gordon states, "Making time to connect is always worth it. Before the 2016 season, I spoke to the Los Angeles Dodgers at their spring training facility about the importance of being a connected team and over the past two seasons, I have witnessed the power of these connections. Before the World Series this year, I walked with Dave to the field to watch the team practice. After a few minutes of talking with me, Dave said, 'I have to go connect with my players.' It takes a lot more time and energy to connect, but the team and results it produces are well worth the effort."
