Stick Together: A Simple Lesson to Build a Stronger Team
Hoboken, NJ (March 18, 2021) – Bestselling author Jon Gordon is joined by coauthor Kate Leavell on the new illustrated fable, Stick Together: A Simple Lesson to Build a Stronger Team, set to publish on March 30th . Stick Together shares an inspiring message about how individuals and teams can persevere through challenges, overcome obstacles, and create success together.
Stick Together follows Gordon’s previous bestselling fables, including The Garden, which debuted as a #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller last year. The new book follows Coach David, a high school basketball coach looking to motivate his team for the new season. The team members are given sticks with words written on them and tasked with a number of missions:
- To find another player with the same word written on their stick
- To explain why that word is important for a team to be their best
- To render their sticks unbreakable
As the players work together to complete their tasks, they discover how to make their team stronger and create an unbreakable bond. The book explores how inclusion plays an imperative role in the strength of teams. Acknowledging the unique contributions and value each person brings allows all team members to feel included.
A relevant message for society today, Stick Together is perfect for readers of all ages, student athletes, and teams in all industries including business, education, healthcare, and nonprofit, and will resonate with anyone looking to improve their team performance and excel in a group environment.
Currently available for pre-order, Stick Together will be available wherever books and eBooks are sold on March 30th.
