Book Description
For an organization to be successful in the mid-21st century, it is important for all of its teams to be more than the sum of their parts and the organization’s team of teams to be more than the sum of the teams. The ability to team with all stakeholders in a quick and agile manner can be a defining difference from other organizations.
Written by the leading global thought leaders on teaming and systemic team coaching, Teams of Teams Coaching provides practical guidance on developing an organizational strategy and culture that delivers critical advantages. It covers the need for team of teams coaching, the benefits of this approach and how to build and implement a team of teams coaching strategy. There is also guidance on how to develop a teaming culture in the organization, building internal team coaching capacity and what to consider when exploring external coaching support.
Full of global research of best practice from over seventy organizations from different sectors, as well as the authors’ combined seventy years of working with coaching organizations and the team of teams, this book provides a clear map of the process to become an effective team of teams. This evidence-based guide contains methods and tools that leaders, coaches and consultants can immediately use to achieve improved performance and gain competitive advantage.
Review
“From the earlier models on the 5 Cs of Systemic Coaching and 7 Eyes of Supervision, Peter and Catherine have created a far more powerful systemic team approach and models of STOTA and STOTC. As a practicing systemic leadership team coach with an organization that focuses on spiritual intelligence, I see great coherence and convergence. I resonate with the call for action, if not now, when, if not us, who, if not working together, how, spiritually.” ― Ram Ramanathan, Self-Development Coach
“Team of Teams Coaching challenges us to consider how a more connected way of working is an evolved and efficient way to tackle the complexities of our modern day. This book prompts us to reconsider how we work together at a critical juncture in history, urging us to choose a more connected and effective approach. We are called to action to fully appreciate, investigate and nurture deeper understanding of the interconnections between individuals, teams and their wider ecosystems. Readers might be initially drawn to this book to improve team performance, but will leave inspired to foster a more sustainable and interconnected future.” ― Alana Weiss, Director, People Development, Google
“Peter Hawkins and Catherine Carr have created a compelling read in Team of Teams Coaching. No, I would go further – they have created an essential read. Essential for coaches, leaders and humanity. The authors bring together ecological issues with systems thinking and team working, to create a masterpiece of a book which that redefines our thinking around team leadership, team collaboration and system wide working.” ― Prof Jonathan Passmore, Henley Business School & Senior Vice President EZRA Coaching
“In a world driven by competition and national interests, Peter and Catherine invite readers to rethink the very nature of human collaboration. We welcome this timely and important book which defines Systemic Team of Teams Coaching (STOTC) and explores practical ways to work with teams in a deeply inspired, radical and interconnected way. We are confident that this book will help shape the future of how each of us leads, coaches and contributes to teams, organizations and wider society.” ― Lucy Widdowson and Paul J Barbour, executive and team coaches, co-authors of Building Top-Performing Team.
