Roots: The Human Framework Beneath Thriving Teams - Hardcover

by Chris Angell (Author), Jodee Bock (Author)

Why do some teams trust each other, adapt quickly, and consistently perform at a high level while others struggle with misalignment, disengagement, and turnover?

The answer isn't found in another management system, personality assessment, or productivity tool. It lives beneath them.

Roots introduces a practical framework for understanding and strengthening the human dynamics that drive every organization. Drawing from years of experience working with leaders, teams, and cultures, authors Chris Angell and Jodee Bock reveal the sixteen foundational elements that shape how people connect, communicate, collaborate, and contribute.

Rather than offering quick fixes, Roots helps leaders cultivate the conditions where healthy culture emerges naturally. Through practical insights, real-world examples, reflective questions, and actionable practices, readers will learn how to strengthen the invisible foundations that support thriving teams.

Whether you're leading a company, managing a department, building a nonprofit, or developing your own leadership capacity, Roots provides a clear path for creating cultures where people and results grow together. Because sustainable success doesn't begin with strategy...

It begins with the roots.
