Group and Team Coaching Summary

Group and Team Coaching: The Essential Guide by Feggy Ostrosky-Solis

This book offers a new perspective on the subconscious and non-verbal processes through which people learn and communicate with each other in groups. Describing these processes in the context of modern organisational life, it provides practical advice about how to do group and team coaching.

Introducing key concepts from psychology, group analysis and systems theory, Group and Team Coaching gives practical guidance on core areas of group coaching: team coaching, group supervision, action learning sets and other learning groups.

Casting new light on the `secret life' of groups and teams, it discusses:

  • the invisible processes of group dynamics
  • pitfalls of group coaching and how to avoid them
  • how to design coaching interventions
  • common dilemmas
  • ethics and supervision

With many vignettes and case studies, Group and Team Coaching is essential reading for coaches who work with groups and teams.

Group and Team Coaching Reviews

The Coaching profession needs a book like this to appreciate where group and team coaching has evolved from (like many forms of coaching, from many disciplines) and to put a `stake in the ground' at this stage of our evolutionary growth. - Katherine Tulpa, From the Foreword

This book is one of the first to cover this important area of coaching. The author, Christine Thornton, is an experienced coach practitioner with over 20 year's experience of working with groups. - Emma Wallace, The Coaching Psychologist (BPS), Volume 6, Issue 2, December 2010

I found Group and Team Coaching: Tbe Essential Guide refreshing in its honesty and willingness to confront the often unconscious dark side of group and organizational experience that so frequently interferes with task achievement... a recommended and refreshing work especially for social workers who manage teams, divisions, and organizations. - Francis Bartolomeo, Social Work witb Groups, Vol 36, 2013
