Leadership Team Coaching Developing Collective Transformational Leadership Peter Hawkins Books Reviews

• Hawkins brings his deep knowledge and experience in coaching to the complexities of the team coaching arena. His book provides a solid framework for those of us who coach teams.
• Great book. Full of ineteresting suggestions
• I enjoyed the first edition of this book, which is clear, insightful, practical and very digestible for people like me who are coaching leadership teams. It was one of the core texts on the postgraduate course I took in team coaching and the author’s thinking has helped shape my own approach to this emerging discipline. At times, though, I felt the first edition was almost too digestible – too much of a departure from the rich density of some of Hawkins’ earlier books.
  
  What the second edition offers is both an update and a meatier meal. There’s more of a focus on tools team leaders can use to coach their own teams – not the whole range of tools Peter Hawkins uses in his own team coaching, but specifically the ones that CEOs have applied themselves. He also addresses the matter of selecting the right team members, which is all too often overlooked in a world of gut reactions and nicey-nicey team builds. And he tackles the wild frontier of coaching multiple teams on how best to partner in order to deliver on their shared endeavour.
  
  Essential reading for team coaches, and for intelligent leaders looking to shift their team leadership to the next level.
• Hawkins' book on Leadership Team Coaching is a welcome addition to the new and evolving team coaching field. It nicely melds the limited research done on high performance teams from researcher practitioners like Wageman and Hackman (two co-authors of Senior leadership teams What it takes to make them great) with Hawkins' own seasoned experience, techniques, tools and ideas for coaching leadership teams effectively and credibly. Readers will learn through Hawkin's personal accounts of his experience working with different leadership teams around the world, including virtual teams and Boards. One of the most interesting propositions that Hawkins puts forward is that teams need to do regular stakeholder analyses and broaden their coaching focus beyond just the interpersonal dynamics and internal workings of the team. Suggested questions are provided for doing this stakeholder analysis and soliciting 360 feedback from the Board (for senior teams), direct reports to the team, and even customers, partners and / or suppliers.
  
  I commend Hawkins for offering a practical and detailed framework that is useful for both coaches and leaders who are new to team coaching and experienced coaches like me who want to develop their knowledge further in this area.
• "Systemic team coaching is a process by which a team coach works with a whole team, both when they are together and when they are apart, in order to help them improve both their collective performance and how they work together, and also how they develop their collective leadership to more effectively engage with all their key stakeholder groups to jointly transform the wider business." (page 60)
  
  Hawkins's "outside in" method first asks about "who the team is there to serve and what those people need and want from the team" (pg. 34) vs. focusing on the team itself and then later looking at client and other stakeholder perspectives as an afterthought.
  
  Hawkins also describes the unique coaching needs of management teams, project teams, virtual teams, client or customer account teams, and boards. From there he discusses how to find good team coaches and appropriately review their work, and how to develop and supervise team coaches. He ends with a section on method, tools and techniques, including a description of the Team 360 assessment process.All of this is wrapped up in Hawkins's hope that systemic coaching will make a difference in the world
  
  "In serving the organization I need to ensure that the work with the individual or team is not an end in itself, but is enabling that individual and team to more effectively lead and manage the organization through its next phase of development so that organization can fulfill its potential and make a better contribution to the wider world...the current nature of world challenges demands that all human beings think and act in new ways." (pg. 208)
  
  Leadership Team Coaching is THE book I have wanted to see written in the last few years; It has so much potential to guide team coaching practice. I anticipate that it will become a benchmark guide for this emerging field. It will certainly be my benchmark!
