Book Review by Alison Whybrow
This is an immensely helpful book that addresses, in a very practical way, a challenge that we all face and can become deeply frustrated by.
Sadly, Alison Whybrow passed away on 27th February 2022.

Dave Stitt is someone I have worked a lot in the past and has helped us build team performance in a number of projects like Bradford BSF and Crossrail.
Not only has David helped our teams perform better, he has also made us all better individuals, which I can testify first hand. David has helped me transition from an “authoritarian” style of management, that is usual in Latin countries, to a more “engaged" style of management, that is more usual in Anglo-Saxon countries.
I am still half-way in this journey, but at least I know better what the end destination should be, and believe me I am trying hard!
Dave is also one of us, someone that comes from our industry, knows it inside out, but has managed to get the sufficient distance from it, to be able to analyse it and see the usual pitfalls we end up falling in on every project.
And that insight is so precious that I always use any opportunity to share it with my peers, reports and managers.
Dave has also written a number of books that I have avidly read, given some copies to my teams, and even my Managing Director got a copy of the Deep and Deliberate delegation, which could have gone badly wrong, but I feel it went really well! Another testament to Dave's knowledge and no-nonsense style of writing.
I use Dave's books not only as helpful reminders to the pitfalls mentioned above, but also as a source for useful advice and tools to avoid these, and improve our performance as individuals and as a team. In a way Dave's books have become an extension of his work as an excellent Team Coach.
Keep up the excellent work Dave!
