Do you believe family is an integral part of our success?

Build The Home Team by Dr. Amit Punjabi & Kiahra Punjabi is a book that takes up an important aspect of our life-family, and then goes on to detail how important is to manage it properly.  The core focus of the book is on the point that while people tend to spend a lot of their time, money & energy in building great teams at their work places, they forget that there is a great team available for them at their home. This team at home is what helps us generate the best from every area of our lives & they need to be nurtured, guided & mentored to be a high performing unit.

The book is well-plotted and well-planned. Divided into 4 sections of Treat, Empower, Align and Measure, it uses this acronym to lay emphasis on the importance of family in our lives. The one thing that stood out in the book for me was its simplicity and the easy-to-implement ideas. The authors do not take a moral high ground and preach, rather use examples from their lives to drive the point home. Another good thing about the book were the quotes at the beginning of each chapter and their relevance to the discussion that happened in that part of the book. Amit and Kiahra have used their experience to pen this down and it shows in the earnestness that keeps the reader hooked to the book. The concept of equating family as a team and then drawing parallels to improve the work as well as home teams is commendable. The comparisons are interesting as well as valid. The examples provided are well suited to the concept and add to the value of the book.

However, there are certain things that could have made the book even better. First is the editing and proofreading. There are certain areas where spelling and grammatical issues popped up. A second round of editing can easily fix those. Second thing that could enhance the book is the inclusion of a few activities that the readers could do to incorporate the learnings from the book. Lastly, using a few diagrams and figures to explain the concepts could have made the experience richer as well.

It is a short read, but an effective one. Overall, the book scores a 4.25/5 for me.
