There is a tendency to assume 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.

Each chapter includes reflective coaching questions and tools team coaches can apply immediately. Combining research and practical experience, it’s a must-read for coaches looking to support the agile teams of today.
