Abstract

Trying to implement an enterprisewide change initiative but your leadership team members are mired in their functional silos? Or, do you need to quickly shape a diverse group of individuals into a brand-new team? When it''s time to create a well-synchronized unit, or even revitalize an already established group, some form of team coaching may be in order. Unlike individual coaching where a coach or supervisor helps an employee one-on-one to develop new skills or adjust behaviors, a team coach works with the whole group to improve its collective performance. This article examines two recently proposed models for team coaching that tackle this challenge from very different angles and offer a starting point for considering what type of coaching intervention could best help your team.
