For those of you who may have heard the term but remain curious about its essence, we provide clarity. Furthermore, we delve into how teams can truly benefit from the practice of team coaching. Clutterbuck eloquently articulates, "Teams are constantly evolving. Things are happening all the time. And the ability to cope with all that change in a coherent way, to continue to grow in performance, and to learn and adapt to the environment as it changes around you — that is the biggest challenge that leaders often have. And so, the role of a team coach is to help the team not just deal with individual issues. You can get a facilitator in to do that, or a consultant. A facilitator will just focus on that issue and help you resolve it. A consultant will sort it out for you and tell you what to do. But a team coach will help you build the internal capacity to be able to tackle similar issues in the future and basically to learn how to coach yourself to adapt, to effectively become a high-functioning, adaptive organism." And what is the secret behind a successful team of team coaches? Join us on this enlightening journey into the realm of team coaching to uncover the answers.
