There is a tendency to assume that teams will naturally know how to self-organise and optimise their collective talents. This thoughtful and engaging book explores the practicalities of coaching teams and some of the challenges that naturally occur because of who we are as human beings. Part of The Professional Coaching Series, this book challenges the assumption that self-organising teams will work in all settings, answering some of the recurring questions and challenges observed in many organisations. How do we connect with each other, so we create trust? How do we work through conflict and see it as part of a natural ebb and flow in relationships? How do we create meaningful work in the context of an ever-changing environment? The opening chapter lays out some basic team coaching principles to help set the stage for coaching people in teams and there are coaching questions in each chapter to engage the reader as well as tools they can use immediately. Coaching teams is more than just applying coaching skills. It requires a deep understanding of how people behave and an adaptive approach to coaching. This book provides both research references and practical tools to help team coaches start their team coaching journey.

It's no accident that latent is an anagram of talent; and yet blinkered thinking about the WAR FOR TALENT has driven many organisations to focus their efforts on a tiny proportion of the workforce. Inspired by biz book classic, GOOD TO GREAT, Ro Gorell lifts the lid on what talent management is really about - not only demonstrating why it starts with GETTING THE RIGHT PEOPLE ON THE BUS in the first place, but also providing ten simple principles for how to nurture and sustain the talent that exists, untapped, at every level in your organisation. The simple truth is that TALENT MANAGEMENT IS FAR TOO IMPORTANT TO BE LEFT TO HR ALONE. It's a board-level issue - one that business leaders need to understand and act on strategically in order to successfully leverage this increasingly critical source of innovation and value creation.ABOUT THE BOOKSFar too many business books start with the false premise that offering meaningful insight requires exhaustive detail. They demand a huge investment from readers to wade through all the information provided and draw outwhat is relevant to them.In a rapidly changing, time-starved world, it's an approach that's getting wronger and wronger. What CEOs and other busy business people desperately needis high-level strategic insight delivered in quick, simple, easy-to-digest packages. Co-created by DAN GRAY and KEVIN KEOHANE, that's exactly what the 55-MINUTE GUIDES are designed to do. Instead of some 300-page pseudo-academic tome, they offer fresh perspectives and "must knows" on important topics that can be read from cover to cover in the course of a single morning's commute or a short plane ride. In short, they are the antidote to most business books. A QUICK READ, not a long slog. Focused on BIG IDEAS, not technical detail. Promoting JOINED-UP THINKING, not functional bias. Written to EMPOWER THE READER, not to make the author look clever.They're guided by the simple principle that INSIGHT GAINED PER MINUTE SPENT READING should be as high as possible. No fluff. No filler. No jargon. Just the things you REALLY need to know, written in plain English with clear and simpleillustrations.
