"Here's the great news Lance shares: you don't need to sacrifice performance to get healthy, nor do you need to sacrifice health to perform."--__Carey Nieuwhof__, founding pastor, Connexus Church  
  
  
Anyone who has been part of a great team knows it's something special. When the chemistry is good, everyone is operating from their sweet spot, the objectives are clear, and progress is being made, it's incredibly fulfilling and fun. On the flip side, we're painfully aware what happens when there is dysfunction in the team--stress, tension, politics, and posturing. It's not much fun for anyone, and we end up squandering our divine assignment.  
  
Lance Witt knows what it takes to keep teams functioning at the highest level of impact. He shows you how to build a next-level team that is spiritually, emotionally, and relationally healthy and productive and high-performing. Short, to-the-point chapters make this the perfect resource for your team to read through together.  
  
"If you are building a team or are on a team, get this book. It's the absolute best single resource I've ever come across."--__Chip Ingram__, teaching pastor, Living on the Edge; author, The Real God  
  
"Finally, we have a book that helps us tackle both health and performance. It's only through the 'and' that churches can develop truly high-impact teams."--__Tony Morgan__, lead strategist and founder, The Unstuck Group  
  
"Lance lives and breathes team. High-Impact Teams is a great resource for helping you build a healthy and high-performing team."--__John Ortberg__, senior pastor, Menlo Church; author, I'd Like You More If You Were More Like Me "You are holding the best book you can ever read with your team. With Lance as an expert guide, learn to go faster and further as you grow healthier together."--__Will Mancini__, founder, Auxano; author, God Dreams
