Team Coaching

BUILD YOUR PIRATE SHIP HOW TEAM COACHING HELPS CREATE A CULTURE OF SELF-DIRECTED VOLUNTEERISM WHILE EMPHASIZING TEAMWORK AND IMPROVING MORALE.

As modern business leaders, we face a complex set of business challenges requiring our teams to collaborate effectively and efficiently to deliver the results our customers, board members, and shareholders expect. 

However, establishing a high-functioning collaborative team has its challenges. 

When was the last time your crew was allowed to settle their differences? 

Many teams and leaders avoid conflict, hoping it will just go away. Instead, unaddressed conflict simmers and creates a dysfunctional crew. 

How do you get everyone to row in the same direction and at the same time?

Hiring individualists has its benefits: they need less supervision; they attack challenges in unique and often unexplored ways. But how do you get them to work as a team so your boat isn't left drifting aimlessly?

 

When was the last time your crew felt free to voice their concerns, opinions, or reservations regarding their work both in a group or individual setting?

Unfortunately, a crew member who feels unheard often feels isolated, builds resentment, and abandons the ship without notice.

 

So, how do we get there?  

If your organization struggles with team infighting, leadership retention, missed deadlines, and low morale, team coaching may be just the support needed to enhance your organizational performance.

Team coaching addresses the group dynamics that will enhance your team's performance, foster collaboration, and create the resilience to face new challenges and change.

Parting thoughts

The strength of the ship is dependent upon every crew member's engagement. As the commanding officer, it's your job to give your crew the tools, skills, and opportunities they need to succeed in your mission. Many organizations often ask why purchasing this type of coaching for their new leaders is a worthwhile investment for the organization at large. Usually, when faced with this objection, we show the below chart. On the left, you'll find the best-case scenario you can expect when providing a new leader with this type of coaching.
