Team leadership coaching

Companies are like living organisms, constantly adapting themselves to fit the needs of an ever-changing environment. However, as businesses adapt, multiple changes can put stress on employees learning to navigate new policies or strategies. As a December 2013 survey showed, consistent changes left employees tired and lacking direction, in fear of downsizing, and increasingly frustrated with the new policies.

To re-inspire their employees and best serve their customers, one company turned to team leadership coaching. By focusing on rebuilding team cohesiveness and using the unique dynamics of the group to create meaningful, challenging goals, direct coaching of these teams invigorated the workforce and helped employees to create innovate new solutions to problems.

The success of team leadership coaching showed in the data with a 30% point jump reported in the engagement index. Not only did the teams coached report improved job satisfaction, but the coaching had ripple effects with all employees making marked gains and reporting greater energy and satisfaction. Employees also reported a greater trust in the management of the leaders in the company.

The newest generation of workers has embraced the need for coaching in the workforce. Team coaching can not only help facilitate growth between management and employees, it can also help bridge gaps between experienced workers and recent hires. Employees embrace coaching for a variety of reasons, “According to ICF, 41% of clients hire a coach to optimize their individual or team performance; 33% want to expand their career opportunities; 31% want to increase their self-confidence; 29% want to improve their management skills; and 27% are seeking a greater work/life balance.”

By coaching employees to work as a team, instead of focusing only on “star” workers, leaders can grow momentum and motivate their workforce to even higher levels of productivity.
