TEAM Coaching 

Coaching management teams has been a strong trend over the last ten years. It is a practice which has gradually become structured, and which must be distinguished from team-building or animation activities.

Team coaching helps leadership teams work together, with others and within their ecosystem, to create lasting improvements. By developing sufficient trust within the team, better ways of working and truly shared directions, the management team maximizes its potential and its impact on the performance of the organization.

Among the most frequent requests for coaching:

• Unite and align the management team

• Develop the skills of the management committee

• Prevent a crisis within the management committee

The fundamentals of team coaching are similar to individual executive coaching: creating a protective space that will allow expression and experimentation, followed by decision and action. Trust and active listening are fundamentals.

For each management team he supports, the coach examines several criteria in order to offer relevant support. Among them, one must mention:

• the team's goals

• the values, the culture of the organization

• the power plays and emotions within the team

• the specific context of each challenge to be addressed by the management team

As with individuals, a contract binds the team and the coach, specifying clear objectives and terms. These are obviously entirely context-dependent and vary considerably. Usually, a team performance model is proposed to help the team align: we will be able to help you choose the one that is most relevant.
