Why Teams?

"None of us is as smart as all of us" says Ken Blanchard, co-author of The One Minute Manager.  Have you noticed that the world is moving so fast that those who say it can't be done are overtaken by those who are already doing it.  This is why it is critical to unleash the collective power of your people.  Work groups and teams are the heart of today's leaner, flatter organization and collaboration up, down and across all functions and levels is absolutely essential to success.  Diverse groups of people using their own creativity, brain-power, judgment and skill can produce results far greater than the sum of the individuals.

Can you recall a time when you were a part of a fantastic team?  Perhaps you were working on a school project, a sports team, or a special task force for your company. Maybe you were part of a political campaign or fund-raising event for your favorite charity.  You know from that experience that really great teams find better and better ways of working together to produce the results they want.  In the process, individual team members learn new skills, become self-correcting, generate new solutions, strengthen relationships, and achieve a special kind of fulfillment from the experience.  This kind of synergy does not happen automatically.

  • Are you a new team leader who wants to set the stage for excellent team performance?
  • Do you wonder if you have the leadership skills to facilitate teamwork and inspire excellence?
  • Are you leading a team that struggles to make decisions, especially when faced with a tough situation?
  • Do individuals seem to be working at cross-purposes?
  • Is your workgroup struggling to produce because some individual behaviors undermine output?

You Could Use Team Coaching!!

Bette George COACHES teams to unleash their potential collaborative power. We can help you launch your team in the right direction, then support your team to bring forth its creative potential. 

How does team coaching work?

Team Coaching happens in real time. We observe your team in action doing its work, whatever that is.  We get to know you, individually and collectively. We listen, ask questions, learn all we can about you and your project and about you as individuals.  We bring to bear our knowledge of group dynamics and human behavior. We give you a chance to get to know us, building trust that allows us to create a respectful, safe space together-a space in which people can be honest and authentic and their creative best.  In this way, we support your seeing new possibilities for thinking, being and achieving together.  We help you define concrete strategies and actions to get the results you're seeking.  We offer tools and techniques to foster good communication, resolve conflicts, support decision-making, and organize work processes.
