Leadership Team Coaching

"Peter Hawkins has had an enormous influence on thousands of coaches through his teaching, his global team coaching practice and his remarkable thought leadership. This fifth edition of Leadership Team Coaching reflects the depth and continuing evolution of one of the most significant books in the field... Peter continues to lead the field by helping us develop teams that can serve an increasingly complex and interdependent world." * Dr. Catherine Carr, co-author of High Performance Teams, 50 Tips for Terrific Teams and Team of Teams Coaching *
"Peter Hawkins has done it again. The new chapter on Systemic Awareness gives leaders a language for something they sense but can't quite name: how a team perceives, thinks, acts and simply is, as one living system. His take on AI as co-coach and AI agents as teammates is the conversation every leadership team needs to start having. This edition gets to the future of teams first." * Niren Chaudhary, Former Chairman and CEO of Panera Brands *
"Peter has once again given us a book that feels both deeply grounded and urgently relevant... In this new edition, Peter's work on Systemic Awareness feels especially important. He helps us see that systemic awareness is not simply systems thinking, or another framework to apply. It is a deeper capacity, a way of perceiving, thinking, acting and being... I particularly appreciate Peter's ability to make profound ideas usable." * Jan Sipsma, Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer at GHD *
"Following Peter Hawkins' publications for more than a decade, I am impressed by the ever-growing deepness and additional aspects of Leadership Team Coaching he achieves and integrates. There is a personal core learning on Systemic Coaching tangible in this 5th edition that reflects both on AWARENESS of the systemic ecosystem and the IMPACT OF AI. The book-a classic already in the first edition-has further developed in line with technical evolution and the growing experience of implementation. RELEVANT and IMPORTANT for leaders and coaches!" * Frank Quante, Dr. Jur.; General Manager, Antalya Airport Turkey *
"This latest edition of Leadership Team Coaching is a powerful reminder of the importance of systemic thinking and awareness for leaders who seek not only to achieve results but to make sense of the critical connections between us and our global eco-system... I am amazed by the breadth and depth of his thinking!" * Eric Beaudan, Global Head, Leadership Advisory, Odgers *

"As Peter Hawkins' long-term partner in China, I have witnessed how his systemic approach transforms leadership teams. This fifth edition arrives at a critical time, when AI accelerates the pace of change and the world faces unprecedented complexity. Hawkins addresses how team leaders and coaches must now partner with AI as co-coaches and work alongside AI agents as team members... This book is an essential guide for every leader and coach committed to navigating volatility and creating a better future. A privilege to recommend this landmark work." * Karen Wu, CEO of Co-wisdom Coaching Beijing, China *
"As a practitioner, Leadership Team Coaching remains my definitive guide. In this latest edition, Peter continues to share his wisdom and experience, masterfully evolving his systemic team coaching framework... This book is an indispensable masterpiece for anyone serious about systemic team coaching and enabling high value-creating partnerships." * Paul Lim, Leadership Practitioner & Team Coach. Former Head, Centre for Leadership Development, Civil Service College Singapore *
"Peter's newest edition of Leadership Team Coaching is a compelling read with some important additions. Working with AI as a genuine team coach partner rather than a tool to be managed reframes how we think about the relationship. Equally powerful is the invitation to see ourselves as nested within living systems, with ecology not as external force but as something that moves through us. The fifth edition expands not just our thinking, but our sense of what team coaching can be." * Lucy Widdowson and Paul J Barbour, Executive and Team Coaches, Tutors at Henley Business School and Co-authors of Building Top Performing Teams: A Practical Guide to Team Coaching for Organizational Success *
