Leadership Development and Team Coaching
A Supportive Team Culture Produces Amazing Outcomes
When team members are in positions that honor their strengths, they feel that they offer a valuable service to help the team reach a goal. Like a well-synchronized symphony or a sports team, a united group accomplishes what no individual could do alone. Success builds upon success and becomes sustainable. We call this having “united momentum.”
Ask yourself these questions to determine if your team is operating at this level.
Do managers have time to focus on high-level tasks, such as optimizing human talents, setting priorities, improving moral, and communicating their vision?
Do team members actively listen and ask probing questions during meetings?
Do team members initiate meetings to collaborate and innovate?
Do team members and leaders view evaluations as relevant, and as learning opportunities, for all parties?
Do team members show up when they should? And do they follow through?
Do team members and leaders problem solve and brainstorm together?
Is the team performing at, or above, expectations?
If you answered “no” to any of these questions, consider investing in coaching for the team. Creating a thriving culture requires diligent cultivation and care. Leading groups without that special united momentum culture can frustrate the most dedicated managers, even if the individual members are smart, capable, and motivated.
Great leaders recognize that their employees are the key to success. The best leaders are those who recognize that cultivating a thriving work culture extends from the company to the community it surrounds.
While the ideal time to build culture is preemptively, it often takes a pain point to get our attention. While transition is necessary, and beneficial, in the cycle of development, the culture of a group can suffer during transitions because so much is changing at once. Team coaching provides a firm and common foundation to build upon. Coaching provides stability and consistency. That foundation makes it easier to resist the temptation to hire based on personality vs total functionality of a position. Transitions can often be a time when people end up in positions that do not honor their strengths.
As a leader, you want to guide your team to succeed. I will help you see how the strengths of individual members can best benefit the team. By intentionally optimizing strengths, you will:
increase overall productivity and morale
micromanage less
inspire more
Imagine… The individuals on your team waking up excited to work towards a meaningful goal. They feel inspired to complete tasks they would normally avoid, because they understand how each part connects to a larger vision. I work with leaders and teams to promote deep thinking and strategic action to help empower their organization and drive their goals. I will help you align team members with ways that they, and the team, can experience the most fulfillment and success.
