It is rare to find a handbook for developing teams that both the team member and the coach can use. Sami Bugay writes from his experience as a corporate team member and employee as well as a team coach and consultant in organizations.
The simple, straightforward, ready-to-go exercises set out in the book provide tools for any team member on topics such as getting to know each other better, using metaphors and coaching exercises, getting agreements, and team alignment.
Bugay’s book integrates Jungian and integral thinking with practical performance psychology for any team.

Since the day we were born, we’ve each been a part of a team. Some teams we choose to be in, others we find ourselves in inadvertently. In either case, we all want to be valued, respected, and feel like we belong.
As team leaders, we strive and struggle to assemble and build functioning teams and harmonized work environments while enduring criticism and being under the spotlight, often without appreciation.
As team members, we want to contribute to the success of the overall team and be seen and understood, not undervalued or left out of the decision-making.
Using a holistic and integrative approach, this book provides leaders and team members with solid, applicable theory plus ready-to-use tools that will:
- Empower team members
- Expand problem-solving capabilities
- Increase efficiency and harmony
- Build relationships on mutual trust
- Bring about success as a result of collective leadership
Drawn from over 30 years of Sami Bugay’s real-world experience, Better Leaders, Better Teams provides the tools you need to realize your full potential as an individual, leader, and team member.
In 2008, Sami developed and led the “Turkish Coaches Supporting Turkish Entrepreneurs” project which later earned the “Local Spirit Global Presence Award” from ICF International at the Annual International Conference in Montreal. In 2009, he served as President Elect of the ICF branch in Turkey.
Before his introduction to the coaching and consulting profession, Sami was in the technology sector. Having started as a technical expert at Nurbil Information Technology Co., Sami eventually took on sales and marketing responsibilities and then moved on to become General Manager. Sami’s contributions brought Nurbil into the top 100 technology companies in Turkey.

Sami led the merger of baskuda.com with another company. In 2004, joined Enter Professional Informatics Services as Founding General Manager.
Sami was initially exposed to coaching in 2002, as part of his own personal and professional development. Having had the benefit of this positive experience, Sami decided to pursue coaching as a profession. In 2005, Sami started building his own leadership coaching and management consulting practice, taking on projects and clients individually as well as in partnership with international firms.
Sami’s extensive background in strategy and business management is a great asset to Sami’s current coaching practice, which includes one-to-one coaching of high level managers (at the ‘C’ level- CEO, COO, CFO etc.), team and group coaching, as well as delivery of professional training for leading companies in Turkey on leadership development, coaching, feedback and communication, and other organizational development subjects.

Every manager seeks to generate success in the workplace. Yet human beings are complicated, unique, and demand consistent, respectful attention. Meet this challenge by using any chapter of this book that offers an integrated view of the science of human development, the practices for creating healthy team dynamics and actions, and the art of being human with each other, no matter what.

Sami Bugay has crafted a clear, well-organized, and impeccably written guide. Better Leaders, Better Teams serves as both a training manual and a valuable reference. As a longtime coach and trainer, I particularly appreciate the fresh approach he takes integrating numerous models of human awareness and interaction that will open new possibilities for any team leader, individual member, or coach. Sami generously shares insights from his learning experiences that make his teachings personal and relevant. Highly recommended!

It is not often that we come across a person who is willing to ponder difficult questions and submit himself to truly understand the entire range of human experience. Sami Bugay is such a man. With courage and conviction he has traveled between science and art to find the most powerful elements that illuminate our human story. Better Leaders, Better Teams is a practical guide that integrates many valuable elements of his research and personal discovery and offers readers an opportunity to engage in a playful and introspective manner to more deeply understand themselves and the teams they belong to.
