NEW YORK – January 3rd, 2017 – Morgan James’s new release, The A Player: The Definitive Playbook and Guide for Employees and Leaders Who Want to Play and Perform at the Highest Level by Rick Crossland, helps entrepreneurs build their best team.

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. When a team is forced to compensate for members not pulling their weight, the entire enterprise suffers. Often a disconnect exists between leaders and employees. When a team consists entirely of players giving an A-grade effort, however, this divide closes and the business thrives.

Rick Crossland, an A Player himself, uses real world examples to illustrate what it means to be an A Player. He also seeks to elevate those at the B and C level to create a high power team and help A Players become effective leaders. The A Player redefines the genre of business self-help. Countless books are written on how to be a better boss or executive, but Rick Crossland addresses the importance of talent in employees and their collaboration.
