In their new book, LEADING HIGH IMPACT TEAMS, two master coaches use their five decades of experience to draw up a road map for starting, building, and sustaining high impact teams. Cynder Niemela and Rachael Lewis share their innovative “Coach Approach” to business coaching with team leaders, team members, and the coaches and consultants who support their development towards excellence.

“The need for strong leadership in business, government and society has never been greater,” says Niemela. “Beyond conventional wisdom and servant leadership, today’s leaders must focus on developing practices, behaviors, attitudes and values that energize people and their organizations.” LEADING HIGH IMPACT TEAMS expands on this concept and offers readers the tool set to create cohesiveness and shared commitment among executives, managers, and team members, helping teams achieve a real competitive advantage.

Niemela’s and Lewis’ innovative coaching technology, the “Coach Approach,” (the framework, activities, skills, and case stories needed to build High Impact Teams,) is fully explained in LEADING HIGH IMPACT TEAMS.

Using the metaphor of a nautical journey, the authors examine the process holistically and guide the reader through the ins and outs of using the Coach Approach. Each chapter contains pragmatic tools, distinctions, inquiries, and real case stories that help the reader integrate the Coach Approach into their organization to produce high quality, planned results.

They guide the reader methodically through the ins and outs of using the Coach Approach with any team, as well as providing hard-hitting examples of teams that used the coach approach to achieve spectacular results.
