About this book

Wall Street Journal bestselling authors deliver a powerful and actionable story to build high-performing teams with concepts rooted in nature.

In The Stargazer: Unleashing the Brilliance of Building Brighter Teams, human capital experts and Wall Street Journal bestselling authors Drs. Katie P. Desiderio and Michael G. Frino deliver a thought-provoking leadership fable. The story explores the importance of growth partnership as a catalyst for building high-performing teams.

Readers will discover the inspiring journey of Jack, a retired teacher and current vintner from Yountville, California, as he transforms his struggling vineyard and his own life through a series of profound experiences deeply rooted in the natural world. Throughout the book, readers are invited to reflect on their leadership styles and team dynamics, with practical exercises and symbolic activities that inspire growth and brilliance.

Guided by the lessons from the stars and stones, Jack returns to his vineyard with a renewed vision. Join Jack on this unexpected journey illuminating the path to building brighter, more cohesive teams. You'll learn about:

  • The key features of the retreat including, Choose Your Be Mindsets, Open Eyes, Mind, Ears, and Heart, and Meaningful Work, each illustrated through metaphors from Jack's experiences.
  • How to create your personal star system—a supportive network of individuals who help each other grow and shine brighter together.
  • How to use the COMPASS framework to encourage team brilliance through principles of trust, growth, and interconnectedness.

Jack's journey from lone wolf to collaborative leader in The Stargazer: Unleashing the Brilliance of Building Brighter Teams serves as a powerful inspiration for managers and business leaders seeking to build strong, interconnected teams.
