LOS ANGELES, April 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Jon Gordon, Wall Street Journal and international best-selling author and renowned leadership speaker, releases "The Power of a Positive Team: Proven Principles and Practices that Make Great Teams Great," through John Wiley& Sons, Inc., on June 11 ? available for preorder now! Infused with research, compelling stories and proven strategies, Gordon has created a how-to guide of practical tools that help teams overcome big egos, apathy and negativity, while building a strong, cohesive team with vision, optimism, communication, connection and commitment, to enhance performance.

Gordon's expertise has been modeled by such "teams" as Google, Southwest Airlines, national champion Clemson football team, World Series contending Los Angeles Dodgers, Miami Heat, Los Angeles Rams, Oklahoma City Thunder, West Point Academy, Pittsburg Pirates, Dell, Publix Supermarkets, Intermountain Health Care and BB&T Bank, and many more.

Forbes says, "Jon Gordon is a giant among business authors and speakers. His inspirational talks have motivated Fortune 500 audiences, schools, hospitals, nonprofits, and sports teams all around the world."

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."
