The missing how-to manual for being an
effective team leader
"The Art of Coaching Teams" is the
manual you never received when you signed on to lead a team. Being a great
teacher is one thing, but leading a team, or team development, is an entirely
different dynamic. Your successes are public, but so are your failures--and
there's no specific rubric or curriculum to give you direction. Team
development is an art form, and this book is your how-to guide to doing it
effectively. You'll learn the administrative tasks that keep your team on
track, and you'll gain access to a wealth of downloadable tools that simplify
the "getting organized" process. Just as importantly, you'll explore
what it means to be the kind of leader that can bring people together to
accomplish difficult tasks. You'll find practical suggestions, tools, and clear
instructions for the logistics of team development as well as for building
trust, developing healthy communication, and managing conflict.
Inside these pages you'll find concrete
guidance on: Designing agendas, making decisions, establishing effective
protocols, and more Boosting your resilience, understanding and managing your
emotions, and meeting your goals Cultivating your team's emotional intelligence
and dealing with cynicism Utilizing practical tools to create a customized
framework for developing highly effective teams
There is no universal formula for building a
great team, because every team is different. Different skills, abilities,
personalities, and goals make a one-size-fits-all approach ineffective at best.
Instead, "The Art of Coaching Teams" provides a practical framework
to help you develop your group as a whole, and keep the team moving toward
their common goals.
