As professional development budgets at many organizations remain flat or even shrink due to financial pressures, coaches and human resources leaders are looking for new ways to do more with less funding. Team coaching—which may span intact teams, project teams and virtual teams—and group coaching—spanning both organizational and public contexts—offer a solution to this developmental puzzle. Unfortunately, there are few practical resources available that address the best practices for team and group coaching. From One to Many fills that gap for coaches, leaders, and human resources professionals. The book explains how to integrate the practice into an organization and how to maximize it to full effect.

  • One of the only books on the market that explores in-depth the related topics of team and group coaching
  • Written by the founder of a performance improvement consultancy who is also a popular speaker on the subject
  • Features new content specifically for practitioners in coaching, human resources, performance improvement and related fields
