This is a solid book with a lot of content. It felt a little sales pitchy in places for me but it is a useful read if you want to get the best out of your teams.
Every once in a while you get a book that you want to read multiple times just because it is so helpful that you can't take it all in at once. I listen to my books, even if I have to have Siri read them to me, so this book definitely goes in the "read again" pile. There was so much detail in here! Alison and Jenni take you inside their practice and teach you how to coach a team...step by step. It is very practical and doable! If you are a coach and you want at all to work with teams, I’d suggest this as a starting point.
Generally this is a good book with a solid approach to team coaching, engagement resilience development. There are several interesting methodologies ready to apply with a solid overview. Also, the accompanying stories with real world examples help to understand concepts better and let you "live" through the situations. The book is quite comprehensive however times creates a feeling of a textbook from a business school.
Team Coaching Edge offers an exceptional roadmap for leaders and talent development professionals aiming to coach high-performing teams. The book is meticulously researched, providing detailed strategies, coaching models, and developmental approaches. What sets it apart is its clear explanation of the ICF team coaching competencies, essential for unlocking the full potential of any coaching practice.
Here's your much-needed textbook, whether you're a leader, coach, or communications student. This is the guide for coaching teams in non-profits, religious organizations, and businesses. There is enough information for self-guidance but this would be useful in the classroom as well as giving guidelines or acting as a reference manual in professional coaching settings.
It's good enough that I gave a heads up and the cover picture to friends who are professional coaches. That should tell you something. They're excited to see it published, as am I.
Clear, accessible, and practical. I appreciated the distinction of what is team coaching vs. facilitation, team building, etc. and the simple and actionable principles and processes the authors lay out.
An essential read for anyone interested in exploring team coaching to enhance team performance/functioning.
