Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress and working together is success.
TEAM SYNERGY AND HIGH PERFORMANCE
A team consists of people with different technical skills and personal values. This diversity makes teams ideal for tackling complex tasks enabling work results that an individual can never achieve. In teams, these opportunities also bear risks. Different personality styles, interests and work methods need reflection to create resourceful relationships. And common goals must not only be transparent, bold and motivating, but also prioritized above individual concerns within the team.
MORE THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS
High performance teams are the backbone of a company’s overall success and efficiency. Flexible working styles like New Work, agile settings or job sharing require in particular a team that works well-orchestrated. I’ll support your team to achieve this high level of workflow in settings like:
- Analysis of collaboration – What is going well in the team, where is potential for growth? How aligned are working structures (tasks, roles, process) to goals?
- Alignment with the team’s goal – To what extent is the team aligned with the team’s goal having overall responsibility and commitment?
- Assignment of tasks & supportiveness – How is the assignment of tasks strength-oriented? What does mutual support look like within the team?
- Communication & conflict management – How does the team value relationship? Are discussions open and dynamic? To what extent are conflicts and disruptions addressed and leveraged for innovation?
- Diversity & weakness – How does the team embrace diversity and vulnerability? What kind of learning culture suits its needs?
- Systemic view on patterns and ripple effects – What are helpful patterns and interactions between team members that benefit the team as a whole? How do these patterns serve other stakeholders within the company or the market?
REFLECTIVE PRACTICE AND LEARNINGS
A coaching differs a lot from skill training or giving advice as it serves a variety of goals and transferable learnings through its reflective nature. As Senior Coach and Supervisor I offer your team a customized safe space with solution-focused reflective practice and facilitated workshops, team coachings and peer supervision (e.g. reflecting teams).
TEAM PYRAMID BY LENCIONI
The Team pyramid by Lencioni (a visual of this model is linked here) is a valuable first diagnostic tool for teams. It helps identify strengths and weaknesses of a team targeting specific improvements.
Team evolution – together we are more than the sum of our parts. A team creates the strongest synergy through its diversity! Whether you are a determined lone wolf or a dedicated team player, whether you have analytical planning skills or a creative mind – everyone is needed. Everyone brings their own perspective, their own view of the world making them an essential part of the team puzzle.
