Team Coaching

Introduction

Teams are changing rapidly: the team is now the paramount model for achieving organisational performance. Senior directors increasingly work as multi-disciplinary, strategic leadership teams – a far cry from the traditional specialist ‘silo’ where there was little onus on working collaboratively.

In addition there is a sharp increase in the use of ad-hoc or short-term project teams. These need to develop a strong shared working ethos and to develop full performance quickly.

Increasingly teams are seen as the engines of organisational performance with much resting on how well they work together. All this is in a context of either unparalleled economic competition in the private sector, or in the face of enormous governmental/social pressure to perform in the public sector.

Hitherto, much team development has been focused on the one-off intervention. These have their uses, but there is often a fast tailing off of the benefits of such activity.

Team Coaching is a structured yet flexible intervention designed to improve team performance over a defined period of time, as opposed to a one-off exercise. The aim is to equip the team with the awareness, knowledge and skills that will allow them to monitor and improve performance themselves long term.
