True North: Great Teams are Built, not Born - Paperback

by Lynda M. Dobbin-Turner (Author), Mark A. McGregor (Author)

Mark McGregor and Lynda Dobbin-Turner have worked together for over a decade, blending their experiences from two very different worlds to create a unique combination. Three decades after they completed high school together, they reconnected in support of Mark's Leadership business where they began to combine Mark's years of experience from the arena of athletics and sports, most notably hockey, with Lynda's years as a businesswoman, entertainer, and disability advocate. "True North' is the culmination of five years of effort to combine the lessons and wisdom from both worlds in the story of Michael Webber and his wife Petra. In 2015, through 'Being on Mission: A powerful story of personal development and change based on the '10 Principles of Leadership and Life' ", you were introduced to Michael Webber, a corporate powerhouse who almost lost everything when his pursuit of the almighty dollar took his health, his relationships, and his spirit. By embracing the power of the '10 Principles of Leadership and Life', Michael managed to regain all of it, with the added bonus of an appreciation for the things that he nearly allowed himself to let go of. Now, join Michael on the next leg of his journey, as he and Petra make a new life for themselves in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, bringing with them the lessons of the past and the excitement for the future! Through his new role, Michael meets Sue Henshaw, a scientist who has stepped into the role of CEO of Future Tech who finds herself struggling to move her dysfunctional team forward. Through Micheal and his mentor Gregory Marks, Sue is introduced to the '10 Habits of High-Performance Teams' as well as tips, tools, and resources that support her team's growth. This book is a collage of real stories that clients, leadership, and coaching partners have shared over the past two-plus decades, including key moments and turning points in our own journeys. The result is an authentic picture of the main character, Michael Webber's current life, as a leadership trainer, a husband and a father of three amazing children, one who lives his life with Cerebral Palsy, a diagnosis that challenges Michael and his wife Petra to push the limits of the how they once defined a 'good life'.
