Foreword
Claire has written a book that is practical, relevant, and accessible. It offers a model for diagnosing where your team stands, language for the often-messy conversations teams need to have, and tools to strengthen purpose, connection, and alignment. But more than that, it invites leaders and teams to take responsibility for their shared future.
This is not a book to read passively; it is a book to work with, to return to, and to use as a catalyst for real change.
If you are a leader wondering how to unite your team, how to strengthen accountability without blame, how to cultivate debate without division, or how to keep learning in a world of constant change-this book is for you.
And if you are a team member eager to contribute more fully, to engage in healthier dialogue, and to grow alongside your colleagues, this book is also for you.

Afterword
Sadly, many if not most teams are stuck somewhere between survival and revival. Yet all it needs is to come together to have open and honest conversations about how the team functions and what they can collectively do about it.
Sometimes it needs a team coach; sometimes a team leader with the courage to be more vulnerable with their team.
Claire Gray's Thriving Teams provides insights into the kind of co-learning conversations teams can have that help them break out of the rut and create an environment where the team thrives, along with everyone in it.
The outcome of mastering these fundamental skills is a thriving and confident leader.
Claire Gray draws on her extensive experience as a leadership and high-performing team facilitator and coach who develops organisations, teams and leaders so they thrive.
When teams unite around a shared purpose, align on what matters, and achieve together — performance becomes effortless.
In Thriving Teams, Claire Gray explores the six key elements that separate average teams from exceptional ones: Purpose, Relationships, Accountability, Connection, Challenge & Support, and Alignment.
Featuring insights from global experts including Amy Edmondson and David Clutterbuck, this book offers practical tools, reflection prompts, and stories that help leaders create teams that not only perform — but thrive.
Perfect for leadership teams, offsites, or gifts for your leaders.

Thriving Leaders Book Reviews
When you invest in your leaders, the results ripple across the business—better culture, stronger performance, and people who want to stay and grow.
I just read your book, and I think you have done an amazing job of collecting, synthesising and illustrating the breadth of leadership thinking. You really punched out so many topics in this book — which is easy to read, erudite and very practical all at once — a very rare combination! You promise in the intro not to repeat a single idea in multiple ways, and you delivered. And for almost all of the topics you give additional readings if you want to go deeper on a topic. Reading your book reminded me of so many lessons (some I practise and some I need to come back to). Whether you are starting out, or whether you just need a refresher on what you’ve learnt before; and to gleam a few fresh insights look. One of my favourites insights is on the challenging of limiting beliefs — and how often our own stories hold us back from realising our potential.”
I just finished your book. Great work Claire. It was magnificent in its simplicity and practicality.
I really enjoyed your book and read it so quickly - am going to have another go at it more slowly - I loved it and it gave me loads to think about.
I’ve really enjoyed reading your book - the 3 words I’d use to describe it are “authentic, practical and engaging”. And “relevant” (that’s 4!).
