Do Team

This book is about working with other people. It’s about making that experience a positive one. It’s about how a happy, engaged and motivated team becomes an unstoppable force.



In Do Team, entrepreneur Charlie Gladstone draws on three decades of experience as an employer of over 100 people and father of six, to share practical, honest and insightful advice on such matters as:



- Choosing the right people

- Getting through tough times

- Team building for introverts

- The power of (very) small teams

- Why good manners and kindness matter most



With easy-to-follow entries on hiring, gentle leadership, emotional intelligence and retaining a sense of humour, Do Team will help you get the best from everyone so that you, your team and your business can thrive.



'A must-read for anyone who wants to lead their team with empathy and kindness — from the man who does it best.' - Holly Tucker MBE
