Publisher's summary

In the spirit of The One Thing and Start with Why, this guide provides the "missing link" for entrepreneurs to generate fast, sustainable growth, get out of the weeds, and build their A-teams from the inside out.

Success in business today means responding to change at an ever-increasing pace—due to factors such as competition, evolving technology, and increasing client expectations. Delivering more value with fewer resources is the name of the game. However, in this environment, even when a business is winning, the leaders and teams playing the game often feel like they are losing—plagued by overwhelm and burnout.

Most business books try to address this problem with systems, structures, and values. What’s missing? The “People Part”—the often-misunderstood area of a business where leaders and team members do the actual thinking, interacting, and performing together. Drawing on Annie’s 30 years of working with humans in business, this dynamic and engaging book outlines seven easy-to-implement agreements to build a high-performance team.

You’ll learn how to:

• Lead in a way that supports others to perform at their best, by strengthening your own Self-Leadership

• Generate a leadership reputation where the best A Players seek to work with you, and stay for the long term

• Create psychological safety—the environment that empowers team members to collaborate at the highest levels

• Develop leaders and team members to take on responsibilities with the same commitment level as the owners

• Supercharge your team productivity with Annie’s signature tools

• Put the seven agreements to work and see improvements right away

If you’re an entrepreneur just starting out . . . a CEO trying to get out of the weeds to work “on” rather than “in” your business . . . a leader who needs a breakthrough for themselves and their team . . . or a team member wanting to make your best contribution yet . . . then The People Part is for you.

Good book too slow

The concepts on this book are great but it was so boring to listen it. The author uses the same tone the hole book

Phenomenal book!

This book is essential for entrepreneurs, leaders, and team members to listen to and study. I bought a hard copy too to read carefully and use as a reference book. It has already helped me to better serve my clients and level up my self leadership and people skills. 💯

She’s the real deal

I had the privilege of sitting next to Annie Pratt at a dinner and I learned more about business casually talking shop for an hour with her than I have from a lot of day-long seminars.

There’s good reason: she’s done it. She scaled Coffee Bean from 7 locations to 70 locations, then through to a successful sale of the enterprise.

Since then she’s helped dozens of other businesses. More specifically, she’s helped their *leaders,* often the Owner-CEO. She helps Entrepreneurs with that oh-so-troubling transition from leading through grit and hustle to leading through, well, leadership.

When I saw her book was available I dropped everything so I could listen immediately to her book.

I recommend you do the same.

As someone in HR this is a best case scenario book

the book is fine and probably for individuals stepping into leadership or human resource type roles for the first time there's a lot to digest but for anyone that has been in these types of roles for even a year it's repetitive information
