In many approaches to team development, the coach assumes there are some measurable "ideal qualities" that make teams functional or some "ideal processes" that need to be developed. In this book, Kirsten Dierolf presents the elegant (but radical) simplicity that team development can be driven by how the TEAM wants to be. (Their goals ... not imposed goals.) In this practical and engaging book, Kirsten offers lots of practical tools and lots of REAL examples of working with teams ... with LOTS of examples of positive outcomes in terms of team development and cohesion ... but, perhaps more importantly, positive outcome in terms of productivity and moving forward. Michael Durrant, Faculty of Education & Social Work, University of Sydney, Director, Brief Therapy Institute of Sydney Solution-focused coaching is not rocket science. It is a respectful and positive approach to change and problem solving. Even if the basic ideas of SF are easy to understand, one still needs to learn the tricks of the trade in order to apply its basic tennents in different contexts. In this useful book, you will become familiar with an impressive collection of simple and effective tricks of the trade for working soluton-focused with teams, groups and organisations. I highly recommend to coaches, consultants and managers. Ben Furman, Helsinki Brief Therapy Institute
