Coaching International Teams: Improving Communication, Inclusion and Productivity Paperback – 20 Jan. 2022

This is a great book for those seeking practical techniques to use in communication and leadership of international teams. Alex clearly has extensive experience in this area and the book sets out to examine the various challenges faced by leaders of international teams. Each chapter closes with some great coaching questions for use both in self reflection and as subject matter for group discussion. There are also interactive exercises for use in improving communication and building a stronger sense of teamwork. Coaching International Teams by Dr Morgan should be a staple part of a leader’s toolkit to help increase communication, influence and impact with their people.

Dr Morgan uses 'five building blocks of inclusion' to explore the best way to make international teams succeed. She reveals a host of issues surrounding linguistic and cultural differences which are vital for coaches and managers. This she does clearly, simply, and intelligibly and then uses questions and activities in very structured ways to inform, communicate, and solve problems. She wears her extensive research, experience and expertise very lightly, and this slim volume will be a godsend to those managing or coaching international teams.Vaughn MalcolmEFL Trainer and Business Coach

A great book with some really practical and valuable advice, hints and tips and lots of great questions and exercises which a can be used with any team. As well as guiding you through the five building blocks with useful strategies it references a number of additional research materials to explore further.

Alexandra Morgan has written a short practical guide to coaching international teams more effectively. Her five building block model - linguistic collaboration, inclusive mindset, meta-level thinking, empathy, intercultural collaboration - is a helpful way to summarise and frame some of the key ways of coaching such teams more effectively. Having myself coached many international teams I can attest to the validity of the key themes in the book. The tools and techniques are practical and set out in crisp straightforward language. I would recommend the book as a basic guide for those who haven’t previously coached international teams - and as a helpful aide-memoire for those who have.

This book is a must-have for anyone involved in coaching, leadership and even management. I found the information inside to not only be very useful, but was very easy to implement and has already made a positive difference to my coaching methods, and the team/s around me. Well done Alexandra!

Having spent 30 plus years managing or being part of multinational teams, all I can say is I wish I had this book 30 years ago !It’s clear and to the point giving you direct access to useful information on every turn of the page.Highly recommend.

The is the best book I’ve read on the subject. Full of useful and practical advice, the author clearly fully understands the drivers for performance across teams with multinational diversity. If you manage people across nationalities, localities or cultures, I’d recommend having this book within easy reach.

I love the simplicity of the language used as well as the the combination of theory and task.It is a fantastic book that you can use instantly. Great for anyone working with international and multinational teams.
