In this day and age, it is normal for multi-disciplinary teams to temporarily come together on projects and then disband afterwards.
For any high performance team, whether permament or temporary, it is important to develop trust quickly, find common ground for collaboration and align their goals to the strategic goals of the team.
Without the right kind of catayst, teams could be stuck in ‘storming’ with louder and more powerful voices risking group-think and stifling ideas.Indecisiveness and back-tracking hold back progress and there is no accountability.
Constructive conflict in teams is necessary because some of the best thinking and innovation happens at the edge of chaos. However there are many team members who still shy away from any kind of debating or sticking their heads above the parapet with their different ideas.
Team coaches are there to faciliate productive structured discussions, bringing focus to the session, moderating voices and psychological safety for everyone.
Our skilled team coaches help move team dynamics across the quadrants of Forming-Storming, Norming- Performing- Adourning, questioning and moving from a mandated space of adhoc grouping to a self-empowered team where strengths and capabilities are recognised, roles and decison-making are made collaboratively and accountability to each other established through strong relationships and trust.
Team coaching is not about passive moderation. While the team focusses on content, the coach holds the team accountable to their committment to achieving their team goal.
