# The Academy of High Performance Teams
The Academy of High Performance Teams is a London-based coaching firm specialising in transforming leadership groups from dysfunctional collections of individuals into genuinely high-performing units. They work exclusively with organisations facing specific team challenges: integrating new leaders, adapting to structural changes, or resolving breakdowns in trust and alignment.
Their approach is grounded in a diagnostic framework identifying six distinct modes of team performance, from competition through to co-creation. Rather than generic team-building exercises, they focus on four core development areas: purpose clarity, inner game (mindset and self-awareness), outer game (systems and behaviours), and wellbeing.
What sets them apart is their pragmatic philosophy that many so-called "teams" are merely recurring meetings lacking genuine collaboration. Their published work, *Are You a Team or a Meeting?*, addresses this directly, offering practical guidance on right-sizing teams, defining purposeful collaboration, and building accountability structures that drive results.
They serve mid to large organisations with complex leadership structures where team effectiveness directly impacts business outcomes. Their clientele appears to be primarily professional services, corporate, and public sector organisations where senior teams face increasing complexity and cross-functional dependency.
The Academy distinguishes itself through evidence-based frameworks, published thought leadership via Economist Edge, and a focus on sustainable behavioural change rather than short-term interventions. They position themselves as specialists rather than generalists, declining generic team development work in favour of targeted, diagnostically-led coaching.
