Leaders are outstanding persons. But it is not about being outstanding. Leadership is bringing people together in order to work efficiently for a joint goal. This is easy said, and hard to be done. Often we inherit inherit internal conflicts, wrong expectations, or just the wrong people.
Fixing these issues, turning a group of employees into a team, can be too much on the plate of an overly busy manager. And even after the transformation on individuals into a team the performance level is not necessarily there where to expect it. An outside coach can not only serve as lightning rod, but bring out the best out of the team. Imagine the value of a high performing squad and how much you could achieve.
Group or Team?
Development, building, or coaching?
The use of the different terms is often not very precise. In order to be clear when gathering information, offer and identifying your needs, let us have a short look on definitions.
A team is a number of persons associated together in work or another regular activity. A group is two or more individuals assembled together or having some unifying relationship. Thus, the regularity is the most distinctive characteristic. A group comes together only occasionally or for the very first time. This can be for example for a certain project. Once they collaborate together formally we would speak of a team again.
- Team Development: several measures over time to unfold the potential of a team.
- Team Building: a joint activity (often the first step) to familiarise team members with each other. Usually, there is no real connection to the working context or environment.
- Team Coaching: use of coaching methods to improve team collaboration, communication, and/or performance.
- Team Retreat: min. 2 days out of the work environment in order to coach, build or develop a team.
