Team Coaching

Unlike 1:1 coaching or team building, Team Coaching explores issues that relate to collective performance, enabling the team to recognize and manage influences on its performance, now and in the future. Team coaching takes a systemic view of those influences, which may concern the team’s internal dynamics and/or how it interacts with its stakeholders. This is a powerful and effective process that will enhance the performance of individual members, the leader, and the team as a whole as well as impact the immediate business and wider organization.

“Partnering with an entire team in an on-going relationship for the purpose of collectively raising awareness and building better connections in the team’s internal and external systems and enhancing the team’s capability to cope with current and future challenges.”
– Profs Peter Hawkins and David Clutterbuck

In a complex, adaptive system, multiple elements interact constantly with each other. Using a PERILL model developed by David Clutterbuck, we build or enhance high-value-creating teams.

“Teams exist to achieve a shared goal, a collective purpose. The question then is who and what goal does the team serve? The bigger the organisation the harder it is for teams to collaborate effectively and achieve those goals. This is where Team Coaching steps in.”

Team coaching is a fairly new science that shifts focus away from coaching individual team leaders to creating a collaborative learning space for the entire team to work together and integrate socially to achieve shared goals. There is a great deal of complexity involved in helping teams to organise but this is where Team Coaching can be beneficial.
