Building Top-Performing Teams: A Practical Guide to Team Coaching to Improve Collaboration and Drive Organizational Success

By Paul J Barbour, Lucy Widdowson, Paul J Barbour

Book Overview

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 people. More than this, the greatest gains are achieved through a high performing team which is greater than the sum of its parts. 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 HR professionals, coaches and anyone with management responsibility on how to motivate, develop, engage and reward a team of employees with different levels of experience and different priorities from a variety of generations to achieve outstanding business success.

Building Top-Performing Teams also includes essential guidance on how to manage internal team conflict and ensure 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 own workforce. There are also tools and techniques throughout on how to promote team ways of working rather than individual-focused processes. Supported by case studies from companies including John Lewis, Mothercare, Carlsberg, PepsiCo and Unilever, this is essential reading for anyone needing to unlock the value of their team to achieve greater business performance.
