Do Big Things : The Simple Steps Teams Can Take to Mobilize Hearts and Minds, and Make an Epic Impact
“.. changing and elevating behaviors
is not an intellectual exercise.
It's the business of the heart.”
PRAISE FOR DO BIG THINGS
“I love this book. I love it because it's refreshingly original and unique. I love it because it's delightfully well-written. I love it because it's full of captivating tales that bring to life the struggles and triumphs of high-performing teams. I love it because the practices and principles are based on years of up-close-and-personal experiences and empirical evidence. And I love Do Big Things most of all because Craig Ross, Angie Paccione, and Victoria Roberts remind us that successful teams are not about star players or outsized talents, but about relationships where people exhibit caring, humanity, and heart. They show us how it's the human imperative that builds and sustains excellence. If you want your team to do big things, it's imperative that you read and apply Do Big Things.”
“People don't mind being challenged to do better if they know the request is coming from a caring heart. Do Big Things has a clear message: People in high performing teams need to care for one another. We can do big things together when we understand that relationships are just as important as results.”
“We all know that teamwork is important work.. but it's also hard work! Craig, Angie, and Victoria have somehow cracked the code with the Do Big Things framework. Not only do they challenge us to rethink our beliefs about what makes a successful team, but they have also given us a powerful set of easy to use practices that any organization can use, if they are courageous enough.”
“Do Big Things is a clarion call to think big and accomplish feats that matter. This book can serve as your guide to changing your attitudes and actions to bring your farther down the road to success.”
“This book captures the magic of extraordinary teams and gives you a roadmap to navigate and accomplish your toughest challenges. I've seen the tools equip good teams to become great teams – by shifting how teams move from an individual focus to a collective force to achieve amazing results.”
“Do Big Things offers a simple and heart-based approach to elevate teams beyond high performing. If you want to open hearts and minds in your business, arm your team with this book.. and maybe you'll all live a little more deliciously.”
“This book serves as validation and a how-to for successful teams that are beyond high performance. The teams that master this approach are unstoppable.”
“The Do Big Things approach and steps are very powerful and transformative. Leaders and teams who choose to apply them can make a huge difference to their business and organization. It is a must-read for any leader wanting to play big with high impact.”
“Ross, Paccione, and Roberts cut through the typical to the atypical, with an approach that embodies effectiveness and engagement, wrapped in – of all things – heart! A must-read for those who want and need their teams to do big things.”
“Do Big Things is different. Because of our commitment to following the steps in this book, I am seeing how collectively, as one team, we will re-invent the way we innovate. These steps are simple, immediate, and authentic. The tools shared in this book have become a common language that allows us to lead with clarity and optimism like never before.”
“Craig Ross taught us the power of comradery. In this new book, the authors teach us about the power of chemistry. It's powerful.”
“Unlike other teaming books I've read, this book immediately improved the way I interact with colleagues. Ross, Paccione, and Roberts have inspired me to focus on the process and even more on the people – to lead less from my brain and more from my heart.”
“The practical Do Big Things Framework gives teams a map to be their best – and accomplish innovation by working across the business on a shared goal. I've seen this book come to life and it's powerful and a game-changer when you experience more potential being activated in your leaders and teams.”
“Do Big Things contains simple yet powerful tools that are timeless and work for any team. I've seen and personally experienced teams achieve incredible innovation and organizational transformations by applying the principles outlined by Ross, Paccione, and Roberts.”
“Do Big Things is a guide for any team. Grounded in research focused on the human element, Do Big Things combines a trusted process with proven tools to serve as a catalyst that inspires teams to reach amazing heights.”
“Do Big Things includes an approach that supported our team in navigating market conditions, being agile, and shifting our strategy – and doing so in a way that improved the lives of our team and community. It's equipped us to live, lead, and care while successfully having the greatest impact on our culture, community and business.”
“The Do Big Things approach equipped our team to leverage our solid foundation in culture to achieve even greater business results (sales and margin growth) – with leaders showing up wanting to be their best ever, transforming our organization, and moving us forward faster. If you're not using these tools, you're already behind.”
“Few books offer quick insights that impact teams immediately. Do Big Things, and the approach in its pages, shifts teams in dramatic ways. I've experienced first-hand the power of these tools in support leaders and teams to be adaptable.”
“I am a big believer in giving the ‘how’ to managers and individuals alike. There are too many articles and books that address the ‘what’ and many individuals are floundering because they agree with that, but don't know the steps necessary to make the change.
