Team Coaching
It’s not the smartest team that wins…
What makes a team?
The difference between a real team and a group of people who just report to the same boss, is that a team has a joint purpose that requires collaboration between the team members.
Team coaching is a dynamic model that brings together the best of coaching practice with the best of team and organisational development, to create a way of working with a whole team as a living system in relationship to its wider organisational and stakeholder eco-system.
Jamie coaches clients through the three levels of team coaching.
Level I
Team coaching sees the team as created by the individuals within it and focuses on the inter-relationships between the individuals and what the individuals want from the team. Consensus and harmony are highly valued. Individuals and interpersonal relations are the centre of focus.
Level II
Coaching the team as a system sees the team as a living system. Focuses on the team being more than the sum of its parts. Effective meetings, generative dialogue and collaboration are highly valued. The team dynamic is the centre of focus. This form of team coaching often happens on away days and in team meetings.
Level III
At this level, team coaching sees the team as existing to create value, with and for all its stakeholders. It focuses on who the team is there to serve and the future needs that the stakeholders have of the team. ‘Future back’ and ‘outside-in’ engagement are highly valued. The dynamic between the team and its wider systemic context is the new centre of focus.
Are you a leadership team or a team of leaders?
Is your team, more than the sum of its parts?
Individual clients often bring the dynamics of the teams they lead to coaching conversations. This often leads to team coaching support for the wider team.
