Coaching the Team at Work

"This book is a must for anyone involved in organizational coaching." - Adrian Moorhouse, Managing Director, Lane4 and Olympic Gold Medalist

Much has been written about coaching individuals, yet there has been little investigation of coaching teams at work. Even in organisations that have made strides towards becoming coaching cultures, the focus has been on the individual, not the team. This failure is now a serious weakness in the abilities of managers at all levels.

In this book, David Clutterbuck bridges the gap between what is known about team learning and coaching and the practical experience of managers and team coaches. He answers such questions as how team coaching differs from individual coaching, what skills underpin effective team coaching, and how team coaching can be made a sustainable, automatic process.

David Clutterbuck is one of Europe's most prolific authors and thinkers on management. Author or co-author of over 50 books, he is visiting professor in coaching and mentoring at both Oxford Brookes and Sheffield Hallam Universities. His recurrent theme is that improving the quality of conversations helps people and organisations make better decisions and helps achieve ambitions. He is a serial entrepeneur and practises what he preaches, setting himself a major learning challenge every year. He is in the top 15 of "HR's most influential."
