Product Description
by Claire Gray (Author)
In today's rapidly changing work environment, building a high-performing team isn't optional - it's essential. Thriving Teams is a practical, evidence-based guide to creating teams that are united, aligned, and set up to achieve. Drawing on Claire Gray's Thriving Teams Model and years of experience coaching leaders and organisations, this book explores the six core elements that drive team performance: Purpose, Relationships, Accountability, Connection, Challenge & Support, and Alignment.
With a foreword by Harvard professor Amy Edmondson, the world's leading expert on psychological safety, and an afterword by global coaching pioneer David Clutterbuck, Thriving Teams is bookended by two of the most respected voices in leadership today. Their insights frame Claire's work and emphasise its relevance for leaders navigating complex, fast-moving environments.
The book also comes alive through compelling case study interviews with senior leaders across industries, including Jeremy Summers (Insync), Matt Carroll (Australian Olympic Committee), Joanna Green and Melissa Lyon (Hive Legal), and Greg Pickering (Australian Financial Complaints Authority). Their real-world experiences illustrate what it takes to bring the principles of thriving teams to life.
Practical, witty, and deeply relatable, Thriving Teams offers leaders the tools and inspiration to not only improve performance but also create cultures where people feel connected, accountable, and energised. It really does take a team to write a book - and this one is no exception.
