High Performance Team Coaching: A Comprehensive System for Leaders and Coaches

A excellent book, pratical and objetive

This book outlines the extensive research the authors have conducted on the subject of Team Coaching. They immediately admit that there is a dearth of study and books written on the subject. I loved their honest acknowledgement of work by other authors including Peter Hawkins, Wageman, Nunes, Burruss and Hackman. They rely on this great research and produce a model for Team Coaching that makes perfect sense. To my mind team coaching is a mix of Consulting, Facilitation, Coaching and Mentoring and trying to fix pure coaching approach to this practice is limiting. The arena is complex. The authors are very generous in the sharing they include within the book. Buy it this book, if you are like me and offering Team Coaching as part of your offer. Excellent and an easy read.

A really concise, systematic and integrated framework on team coaching! This short book provided me with a concrete framework and model for organizing a lot of what I knew about team coaching into a practical system. This is the first book that I have come across that provides a roadmap for the stages and phases of team coaching. I'll be using this as a framework in my future engagements for sure. Thank you for writing this great resource Drs. Peters & Carr!

Wonderful read I really appreciated the practical approach to a complex issue, team performance. Dr. Peters has given me the confidence to take the high performing team coaching model to my clients.

Only 1 of 5 teams is high performing, in part because team coaching has lacked a solid performance model—at least until now. High-performance coaching is systematic and focused on the collective talents, strengths, and goals of the organization. First, the authors define the critical difference between a group and a team. A team is complementary, committed and, especially, interdependent. And a high-performance team hits or exceeds organizational goals they set for themselves. The authors set out several key elements. I’d call them the Key 3s. Three fundamental steps for a team: Assess stakeholder expectations; put a plan in place; measure progress and results. Three critical drivers for success: Team structure, team launch, and team coaching. Three times for best coaching impact: The beginning, middle, and end. And finally, three critical outputs: Quality results, team capabilities and relationships, and individual engagement. Well done!
