From Jon Gordon, 17-time bestselling author, top leadership speaker, and the #1 consultant to elite CEOs, championship coaches, and high-performing teams in the NFL, NBA, and MLB, comes a powerful new fable on what it takes to build a truly great team.
What separates great teams from the rest? It's not just talent--it's commitment.

This poignant moment triggers a powerful flashback to Tim's past, where his team defied all odds and achieved something remarkable. As Tim reflects on that experience, he realizes that the same 7 Commitments that led to success back then can be applied to his current team--and to any team striving to achieve extraordinary results together.
