Building Top-Performing Teams: A Practical Guide to Team Coaching for Organizational Success

Lucy Widdowson

The best way for a business to succeed is through its people. While there are gains to be had from streamlining processes, reducing costs or making a strategic change, the biggest potential for success comes from how humans collaborate.

Containing more than 40 tools which can be used in a virtual or in-person coaching environment, Building Top-Performing Teams is a practical guide for leaders, HR professionals, coaches, team coaches and anyone with management responsibility. It covers how to motivate, develop, engage and reward a diverse team of employees with different levels of experience and priorities to achieve outstanding business success.

This updated edition includes new research and insights into team coaching and the dynamics of collaborative environments, as well as understanding diversity, neurodiversity and inclusion in the workplace. Including essential guidance, tools and techniques that show how to promote team ways of working rather than individual-focused processes. Covering how to manage internal team conflict and ensuring that teams are purpose-driven and working towards a shared business goal. Each chapter includes diagnostic questions and reflective practice exercises to allow readers to identify how to apply each element of team development to their workforce.
