Team Coaching International provides resources to equip teams and team leaders with the know-how to improve business results with teams, and ways to measure team performance.

 In today’s organizations the pressure is on to do more with less. At the same time, there is growing emphasis on the team as the medium to improve results. Unfortunately most teams and team leaders lack the training needed to be effective in the world of teams. As a result it’s no surprise that most teams underperform—in fact, more than 90% underperform according to our team data.

 It doesn’t have to be that way. We’ve learned what top performing teams do consistently and have created ways to transfer that know-how to teams and team leaders.

 We also train experienced executive coaches, consultants, HR specialists and OD practitioners in the Team Diagnostic™ model and provide a certification program to facilitate the Team Diagnostic assessment.

We start with the premise that the team is a living system, more than the sum of the individual parts. The system has rules of behavior that are mostly unspoken, implicit, and yet strictly observed. Understanding how the system works and how to work with the team as a system is fundamental.

 Dimension One. Teams exist to produce results. That seems obvious so the model includes seven factors that contribute to a productive team. The seven are familiar and make common sense:

•        Team Leadership
•          Alignment around mission and purpose
•        Goals and Strategies to accomplish them
•     Decision Making process that is effective and                appropriate for the team
•     Proactive: the ability to take initiative and welcome change
•    Accountability
•    Resource Management

Dimension Two. The culture or atmosphere of the team exerts tremendous impact on the team, positively or negatively. This dimension includes those attributes that create the infrastructure for a team. Again they are familiar and make common sense:

·          Trust

•         Respect
•        Communication
•         Constructive Interaction: the ability to integrate  conflict  and disagreement on the team effectively
•       Camaraderie: the spirit of the team working together
•     Values Diversity: team differences are valued; they give the team multiple points of view   
  
•   Optimism: the team sees the possibilities, even when it is difficult

At Team Coaching International we provide an array of team development materials and resources to equip teams and team leaders with the know-how they need in order to improve in these two fundamental dimensions and in the 14 team factors.  For more information about training and resources go to Focused Applications.

Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.

Successful companies focus on the technology of human capital as a proven way to produce results. The key is teams, and we cracked the code on teams.
