Coaching the Team

Abstract

Team coaching is frequently confused with individual coaching, team facilitation, and team building. Coaching several individuals within a team or all the team members individually is not the same as coaching the team. Coaching the team differs from coaching individuals in several key ways. Firstly, there is a much lower level of confidentiality, so it is a lot harder and more time-consuming to build a high level of openness and trusting dialogue than one-to-one. The most effective team coaches had a portfolio of approaches for managing individual variations in pace of thinking, learning, and commitment. Team coaches have a lot more to think about, both overall and simultaneously, and hence might need a higher level of skills. One of the necessary skill sets might be facilitation but it is important to separate out the roles of facilitator and coach, even if they might sometimes overlap.
