Team Coaching

Coaching a team, as well as the individuals within it, can greatly enhance its effectiveness, particularly through using current circumstances as the context and prompt for learning.

As W Edwards Deming said, “help must come from outside because a system is not capable of understanding itself” – or, if you like, an engine needs a mechanic.

Team Coaching helps the team get the job done

“Team Coaching” implies working with the team to help them achieve change and improvement in the organisation, whereas “Leadership Consultancy” is the best label for an engagement to assist you in achieving your aim of changing or improving your organisation, as opposed to.

In other words, coaching is about helping the team learn to do the job themselves and consultancy implies a deeper level of involvement directly helping to achieve the outcome.

In reality, most engagements involve a bit of both, but the emphasis varies.

The outcome of a team coaching engagement could be many things including:

  • A leadership team that’s really a team
  • Better decision-making
  • Greater resilience
  • Effective, enterprising leadership flowing out into the organisation
  • Adept professional relationship skills and influence amongst the team
  • Genuine, honest debate about issues
  • Mutual support within the team
  • Solved problems
  • Enhanced business results

What’s different about the support you provide?

It’s informed by a highly-developed expertise in human development and interaction combined with the knowledge and experience of an operational career. That combination makes a radical difference in the appropriate circumstances. It’s simply more powerful than the alternatives.

How do you charge for an engagement?

In whatever way works best for you. We can use an agreed day rate applied to hours recorded or use a retainer arrangement in which an agreed minimum amount of support is provided for a fixed monthly fee. If the scope of work is clear enough, we can also agree a fixed fee in advance. Generally, we invoice monthly for work done in the month.
