Why do so many teams fail to perform - achieving compromise at best and gridlock at worst? And what does it take to end this gridlock? Wall Street Journal bestselling author and speaker Les McKeown shows how to take any team from gridlock to world class success.

In his new book, McKeown argues that every successful team includes a critical player, the Synergist, who can take the three existing types - The bold dreamers (Visionaries), the pragmatic realists (Operators), and the systems designers (Processors) - and knit them together into a dynamic, well-rounded team. Most importantly, according to McKeown, the Synergist is a role that anyone can learn.

While most attempts at teamwork improvement deal only with the symptoms of group dysfunction such as distrust, poor communication, and fear of change, McKeown address the root cause: the innately unstable Visionary-Operator-Processor triangle. Because each of the three styles' motivations, views, and goals are incompatible, without a Synergist every team will eventually implode, stall, or underperform. Only the Synergist can put aside their own agenda and interpret the language of difficult personalities, capture the best from each person, and put the good of the enterprise ahead of their own ego.

McKeown- who has used techniques presented here in his consulting with Harvard University, American Express Financial Services, the US Army, Pella Corporation, Microsoft, United Technologies Corporation, and more- shows how any individual can fill this critical role, whether or not they're the formal leader of the group.

With thought-provoking self-assessments and an extensive Synergist Toolkit, he teaches how anyone can learn to be an effective Synergist by recognizing the vital signs of ineffective teamwork and making the right interventions at these pivotal moments.

Great toy, not for strong chewers
Color: Orange, Size: Medium
Our Lab Stella loves her "doughnut" treats she gets with this toy! It's a great design, between the rawhide treats that aren't too much for your dog, the nubby teeth cleaner wheels and the hard plastic ends. We're on our 4th one as the hard plastic gets tooth marks & our Stella starts trying to bite off pieces of the plastic. Once it's too chewed, we throw it out and get another one. Not super durable for strong chewers if you intend it to last a long time, but great features if you keep getting new, unchewed ones!

Favorite toy so far!
Color: Purple, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
I got the medium for my approx 25 lbs border collie mix 4.5 month old puppy. He is in love! He still has his razor baby teeth and didn't do any damage to it the first two uses. A great *quiet* toy to keep him busy. I am putting the replacement rings on autoship now!

1st out of 9 purchases to be broken in a few hours
Color: Purple, Size: Medium (Pack of 1), Color: Purple, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
I have bought 9 of the PetSafe ring toys. 5 for my pup and 4 as gifts. I have all of the toys (chicken, steak, jack, corn, ball, bone, nobbly). Never have I ever experienced any of them being broken in 1 afternoon. I will be asking for a replacement. But on the positive note, he was exhausted after finally getting the rings off. He has never broken any of the previous toys.

Best toy I've found in a long time!
Color: Purple, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
I got the small Nobbly for my 3lb puppy, but it's too big for her (she loves the xs bouncy ball one anyway). So my 15yo standard poodle adopted it and loves it. It's really too small for him so I watch him and don't leave him unattended. He is so old with bad teeth, and the softness of the center is great for him. It is totally cleaning his teeth, I see white where I haven't for years. But ZERO bleeding which is awesome. It's easy for him to hold and difficult for him to get to the rings, they last plenty long. I will order this one for him in a larger size, probably the medium. 100% satisfied with these toys! Ps I also have a hard chewing 12yo aussie that breaks teeth on anything like a bone. He gets thru the rings in minutes with the bouncy ball and nobbly, but takes way longer with the jack shaped one. He also likes to chew the purple ends of the jack, not just the rings. But I don't think they're hard enough to break his teeth. All of my dogs are different style chewers, but there is a good variety of designs so you can find the perfect one for your canine friend!
