What is Team Coaching?
Team coaching helps teams reach their goals, while creating a sustainable environment that cultivates long-term excellence and success. The team coaching process helps teams align around a common purpose, establish inspiring spirit and vision, define clear roles, commit to team accountability, make powerful choices and take affirmative action.
A team is a selection of people put together for a common purpose with defined functional roles and identifiable goals. Teams are expected to produce results. But many teams fall short, are unable to nurture success over time, or succumb to inner pressure and conflict.
The facets of team coaching
At Lead Global, we help teams become resilient to the ever-changing dynamics of the organizational world. We offer Team Development programs that facilitate extraordinary performance, create alignment between teams and their organizational goals, and enhance collective pro-activity.
- Collaborative leadership is a necessary condition for extraordinary production in teams. Through collaborative leadership, teams find their unique purpose, a set of strong leadership qualities within the team and an inspiring team essence.
- All high performing teams score high on two critical dimensions: Productivity and Positivity. According the Team Diagnostic Assessment™ and related research, the Positivity dimension is reflected in trust, optimism, diversity inclusion, constructive interaction, communication, and more. The Productivity dimension is measured by pro-activity, leadership, accountability, alignment and bottom-line results. Team coaching begins with raising the team awareness to its Positivity and Productivity levels, and continues with exploring and finding the best specific action plan to grow the team where needed.
- Lead Global applies a unique Systems Approach to team development. We regard the team as a living dynamic organism whose characteristics transcend those of individual members. The team is viewed as an entity with spoken and unspoken rules, vision, ideas, blind spots, expectations and necessities. The spirit of a team plays a significant role in how the team works together and what it produces.
