Publisher's Synopsis
Interestingly, successful personal coaching relationships often lead clients to quit their jobs and even change their personal environments. For developing clients, these systems have outlived their pertinence if they limit personal and professional growth. This reveals that when individuals develop, they do not necessarily succeed to also transform the systems in which they work and live. Conversely, however, developing or transforming collective systems will generally provoke the growth and evolution of all their members. System change is in fact the most effective way to accompany both individual and system development. System change is the main focus of team and organizational coaching. How is team coaching and organizational coaching a different profession from individual coaching? This book is a landmark textbook on a Continental approach on the subject. It is an updated and expanded English version of a European bestseller on executive team coaching published in 2002 in French, then Spanish, then Romanian and still selling strong. The text presents a frame of reference and practical strategies and tools that can be extremely useful:1) For manager-coaches who want to create healthy, collaborative and results-oriented growth environments to ensure sustainable team success, and individual development for all its members. 2) For trained systemic coaches specialized in team and organizational systemic coaching. Numerous annotated case studies, examples and step by step team-coaching and organizational coaching experiences are detailed to make this book a very practical workbook for coaches and managers truly centered on allowing organizations and teams develop measurable human and financial added value.
