A Parable With Ten Vital Lessons to Improve Your Value – Because Team Success Takes More Than Just Technical Talent
This is the story of Nick Turner, a talented employee, who through a series of unexpected events finally learns how to be a Winning Teammate!
Winning Teammates are the people that make it possible for any group to succeed.
Winning Teammates are the people who others depend on. Winning Teammates are the people who others want to work with.
Winning Teammates bring more than just technical skills – they bring
interpersonal skills that every great organization needs to create and maintain a positive and productive culture.
In the book, you meet Nick Turner, a talented worker who finds himself changing jobs - again.
While packing to move, he finds an old piece of paper tucked away in a shoe box... a forgotten gift from his high school coach with a list of ways to be a winning teammate.
Looking back on his athletic career, Nick realizes it was very similar to what he is experiencing in his professional career. He had worked hard to become a great player - but he could have had more success if he had focused on the list... he could have been a better teammate.
As he travels to his new job, he has a
series of interesting interactions that illustrate the importance of the 10 commandments his coach had emphasized years earlier. The ten lessons he benefits from during his journey to his next job will inspire you to be a winning teammate - regardless of the industry you work in.
Dedication
I am dedicating this book to the many young men and women that I had the honor to coach, who worked hard to be winning teammates and were positive examples of passion, commitment, and work ethic.
This book is a grateful nod to the impact that those extraordinary individuals had on me and on the group that they were a part of.

Every industry and organization needs winning teammates.
Winning teammates are servant leaders.
Winning Teammates are the GLUE that holds teams together… and that keep them focused and performing well.
This book will be useful for and inspiring to individuals who seek and enjoy self-improvement books and leaders who want to grow the culture and interpersonal skills within their organization. Readers will find that "The 10 Commandments..." inspires discussion and provoke self-reflection, and provides applicable and powerful ideas that will positively impact both their professional and personal relationships.
For exceptionally talented readers, this book will highlight the skills you need to thrive where you are... and to continue to grow.
Without the focus on being a winning teammate, toxic talent becomes less and less valued – and behaviors that might be tolerated for a brief time early on will eventually become unacceptable and lead to unexpected issues.
And for people just working to build a reputation as a solid contributor, the skills shared in this book will significantly improve your standing as an invaluable member of the team they serve.
Whether it is in basketball or business, being a winning teammate means becoming a small contributing part of something more significant than yourself.
I think you will enjoy the story and the lessons it shares.
More importantly for you and your team, I hope you
enjoy the positive impact that adopting these habits will have on your personal success if you choose to apply the lessons in your life!

Dear Author,
You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.
1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”
We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.
If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.
1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org, where you can find a "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies.
How can we serve you today?
Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner
