You can use this page to email Srihari Sridharan about Transforming Teams - as a mind-map.
About the Book
To begin, this book is far from the typical literature you'd find on team transformation. Instead, it takes the form of a single, larger-than-A1-sized mind-map, boasting ultra-high resolution. This mind-map is designed to serve as a wall poster and a convenient quick reference. It was crafted based on techniques employed in a real-world project, offering pointers that encourage critical thinking and practical application. Notably, it emphasizes the importance of psychological safety among team members, as it is a catalyst for extraordinary achievements. Share this mind-map with your teams and witness their transformation to the next level. You can refer to the table of contents for key points covered in the mind-map.
Allow me to provide a brief introduction to the story that inspired the creation of this mind-map:
"Once upon a time, within a software firm, a group of highly talented and diligent individuals were meticulously selected for a groundbreaking project. They embarked on their journey with boundless enthusiasm. However, an unexpected twist arrived in the form of a pandemic, forcing the team to transition to remote work. While the team possessed ample skills, they were in need of a leader. This is the story of how one of them rose to the occasion, assuming a leadership role, and how the entire team united to tackle the challenges they faced. However, this tale deserves a more extensive recounting on another occasion!"
