Coaching Teams
High functioning business teams are motivated by a clear purpose and clear communications. The Clearwater Consulting process for teams begins with helping team members make that mental shift from “me” to “we”. Without that perspective, commitment to shared purpose and goals is fraught with challenges. Essential to moving forward is clearly defining purpose with a two-pronged strategy based on corporate mandate and appreciative inquiry which asks – what does the team do effectively and how can we build on that? Once teams have clearly identified their purpose, goals are established, accountabilities defined and the team is on track to achieve results. Results reinforce and motivate.We tackle some of the biggest challenges with team alignment:
- Holding difficult conversations
- Holding each other accountable
- On-boarding new leaders & members
- Naming, recognizing ‘ghosts’ in the system that slow everyone down
- Using celebration and acknowledgement for momentum
