The Relay Ready Formula Overview

---

What separates high-performing teams from collections of talented individuals? In her groundbreaking book, Yolanda Harper reveals the transformative power of strategic positioning—drawing from her dual expertise as a collegiate track champion and business leader to provide a proven methodology for creating championship performance in any organization.

"The relay mindset rejects the common misconception that assembling a team simply means collecting the highest-performing individuals. This 'all-star team' fallacy leads to groups with tremendous individual talent but suboptimal collective performance. Championship relay teams—and high-performing business teams—are strategically composed based on how skills, personalities, and work styles complement each other rather than merely accumulating individual stars."
 

"Relay Ready" equips leaders with:

• The Relay Mindset framework for balancing individual contributions with team alignment
• Strategic positioning techniques that leverage each team member's natural strengths
• Practical tools for improving critical transitions between team members
• Structured approaches to building resilience and recovering from setbacks
• Implementation roadmaps that create sustainable excellence

Whether you lead a small department or an entire organization, this book provides the formula for transforming talented individuals into championship teams that consistently outperform the competition
