Steve ChandlerBest-Selling Author of Time Warrior

With Mark Samuel’s captivating examples and powerful framework, we now have a way to approach team improvement that leads to lasting and significant change. This book will save leaders countless hours of frustration focusing on symptoms instead of the root causes of team breakdowns.”
Jamie WoolfDirector of Culture and Learning at Pixar Animation Studios (Pixar)
“Too many leaders think relationship building is all that’s needed for an effective cross-functional team. Mark delivers a simple and insightful leadership model for what it really takes to become a cross-functional team.”
Shawn SlusserVice President of Sales and Marketing at Infineon Technologies North America, Inc.
“Mark Samuel has revealed how, as leaders, we have been using wrong strategies to make people work together. By focusing on building trust, we have not only been reactive, but we have also been misdiagnosing the root causes of dysfunctional teams. I believe the clarifying ENDS, MEANS, COORDINATION, and RELATIONSHIPS model is key to building high-performing teams and I plan to add it in my toolbox. Reimagine Teams is a must for a leader at any level.”
Misheck Mwaba, Ph.D.President and CEO of Bow Valley College in Calgary, Canada
“The case study presentation style of Reimagine Teams allowed me to immediately relate and identify the applicability of this fresh approach to my own team. Mark Samuel has done a great job of presenting his unique approach to staying ahead of relationship issues and achieving the end goal. This book will be a benefit to any leader working to focus their team on a common goal.”
Bob FranssenSite Vice President at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station
“Reimagine Teams is critically important in today’s business environment. Mark’s practical approach to building teams that focus on ‘collective execution’ to optimize coordination is essential for people geographically spread and blended between the office and virtual space. Without building cross-functional ‘team habits,’ organizations would be left to operate in silos under-mining future success.”
Stephen ChenardVice President of Supply Chain Integration at General Dynamics Mission Systems
“Reimagine Teams helped me understand the essential connection between where we want to go as a business and the way we work together on a day-to-day basis to get there. Both are key elements to make sure that as a team we are walking together through a growth and sustainable path. I recommend this book to every business leader that wishes to achieve breakthrough results in a consistent way.”
Lorenzo GaravitoCEO of Iris Bank, Colombia
“Reimagine Teams makes you question your education, your MBA, and every consultant you’ve worked with before. Only by under-standing the concepts in this book will you be able to achieve sustained execution and results by having the courage to depend on aligned colleagues working together for success.”
Elaine VincentChief Administrative O$cer for the Town of Okotoks, Canada
“As a commercial manager, I used Mark’s team-building strategy described in Reimagine Teams to move a nationwide sales team to work together to achieve corporate goals. Our Team Habits that drove our Team Outcomes produced fantastic results for our company and our Team Relationships were never better. I plan to use Reimagine Teams as a strategy to lead my current company.”
Carlos EcheverriCEO of Merkaorgánico, Colombia

This approach to teamwork becomes more fluid to produce high quality products.”
