Team Coaching

High Performing Team Coaching and Alignment enables a working team the opportunity to assess its strengths, as well as those areas that need improvement and growth. A senior management group's team alignment efforts have definite implications for the total effectiveness of the entire organization.

Specifically, the goals of a team coaching and alignment effort are to provide team members with:

• A better understanding of the team's mission and character -- its purpose and role in the total functioning of the company.
• A greater awareness and clarification of each player's individual roles, goals, and points of intersection.
• A greater awareness of obstacles preventing the team from working at peak efficiency.
• Faster, more efficient ways of working together to solve business problems, make decisions, and resolve conflicts.
• Greater collaboration and interdependence resulting in greater team ownership and accountability in the achievement of business goals.

The ultimate goal of team coaching alignment is the creation of a more cohesive, mutually supportive group that will have higher expectations for goal accomplishment and individual accountabilities, and at the same time respect differences in values, personalities, etc. This will enable the team to accelerate its development and maximize its potential in the fulfillment of critical business objectives.

MetaSystem's team coaching is both stimulating and productive. It is a practical action-oriented learning process centered on developing your organization's operational results. Team coaching is a series of meetings — either off-site, at the office, webcasts or teleconferences — that leverage team strengths and reveal learning and growth opportunities pointing the way to creating a more productive team dynamic. This shift powerfully impacts team performance-and that means results. Combining Multi-Level Systemic Coaching ensures that the growth resulting from the team work spreads to the rest of the organization for simultaneous and powerful impact.

The Four Phases of Team Coaching

• Diagnosis – An evaluation of your team's culture, qualities, strengths and weaknesses
• Development – Development of new strategies and actions

A Team Coaching Intervention...

• Is a team challenge that calls for creativity and organization, adaptability and precision, personal initiative and collaboration.
• Provides individuals with an opportunity to complete or update their managerial, leadership and followership capacities.
• Takes place in 'real time'- diagnosis, decision, action and evaluation periods unfold in much the same way as everyday leadership and team-work situations. When implemented with an executive team, and followed-up within the rest of its organization, "team development" interventions can be a critical tool for major transformations of corporate culture.
• Addresses an unlimited range of themes - The only criteria is that they have meaning for the team and are useful to its transformational process.
• Includes a combination of indoor and outdoor experiential learning situations. These can incorporate guided groundwork with horses or a music-related interaction.
