Developing teams to achieve results

Lee Hecht Harrison’s Team Coaching™ is a unique approach to working with teams as a whole or system, rather than as a group of individuals. The goal of Team Coaching™ is improved effectiveness at the team level. The intent is to reveal the team to itself, how the members interact with one another and how they can do so more effectively and efficiently.

Our approach to Team Coaching™ is the combination of a unique model, assessment and coaching methodology to ensure team alignment for optimal performance. The team model and assessment are based on two fundamental premises:

• Teams exist to produce results, measured through team productivity
• The environment must engage and energise team members, measured through team positivity

The assessment looks at seven factors that create the conditions for productivity and for positivity.

Team Coaching™ is a six-month program in which teams are guided through a five-step process that creates alignment and accountability for maximum effectiveness. Our approach is the combination of a unique model and coaching methodology to ensure team alignment for optimal performance.

• Assess: Identify desired outcomes, plan for team coaching, deploy assessment and decide on offsite logistics
• Strategise: Facilitate team two-day off-site and determine areas of focus for coaching and develop action plans
• Transform: Conduct virtual team coaching sessions monthly to address real-time business issues
• Reinvent: Measure results determine sustainable methods for ongoing progress

This methodology provides skill development through coaching customised to meet each team’s unique needs. Throughout the process, rigorous follow up and accountability is provided to reach desired performance goals.

Organisations who have engaged in team coaching have experienced numerous results:

• Assessment of the entire team, not the individuals who comprise it
• Identification of concrete actions for improving team performance
• Development of the rules of engagement for team meetings and for how the team will work together
• Consistent approach for keeping the team on task by facilitating a set of focused discussions
• Establishment of trust among the members of the team
• Assurance that issues are raised and that difficult decisions are taken

Our choaching programs support the organisation’s leadership development strategies, align leadership behavioural changes to organisational performance and sustain development for optimal leadership effectiveness and business results.
