team coaching and team building

There has never been a greater need for truly effective business leadership teams and groups. With the reality of rapid change and uncertainty at a global, organisational and board level, working groups at the top must learn new and ever more effective ways that build strategic capability and performance in delivery.

Coaching to groups and teams is an increasingly important part of the Career & Coaching range of services. It can help to embed the changes developed through our one-to-one coaching and, where appropriate can also be highly effective solely as a group exercise.

Our Approach

Working with a client executive or team, a coach can offer a range of support in four broad categories:

  • Team Effectiveness Audits to establish “where we are now” and what improvements may be needed to improve overall team effectiveness
  • Work with management groups where the group has a continuing life and a supervisory role
  • Creation and support of project teams: groups with limited life, specific objectives and demanding timescales
  • “Key Event” support for non-recurring group events: workshops, away-days, strategy sessions

We can then tailor a range of specific coaching interventions and tools to address a range of important issues, such as:

  • setting a context or the team’s work
  • team design, composition and membership
  • event design and construction
  • live facilitation of meetings and events
  • building truly high-performing teams

Outcomes and Benefits

Successful team coaching of this kind can produce valuable gains in organisational efficiency both short and long-term. In particular, this can arise from:

  • Sufficient time for the design of events and meetings
  • Ensuring that all team members are properly briefed to ensure full participation and commitment
  • High-quality facilitation of meetings
  • Feedback to team members as the team moves forward

Our approach to team coaching can be integrated with other areas of Career & Coaching’s work for maximum benefit to your organisation. As illustration, these could include:

  • CEO support: building the role of the CEO as chief facilitator and agenda-setter for the top team
  • Board effectiveness: the capability of the most senior and visible team in the organisation can be refined and developed with advanced team and individual coaching
  • Change management: coaching can provide a powerful solution. Enabling support to key people engaged in significant change projects. The personal and collective risks and sensitivities raised by major change can be safely addressed through effective coaching

Programme Scale and Investment

Every team coaching programme is constructed to individual requirements, and our fees are based on a rate per day of coach time. A programme budget can be set for any scale of coaching intervention. We will be pleased to discuss your particular needs and objectives.
