Strengthen existing or newly formed teams through improved communication, performance, and accountability set against defined and measured results.
Years of working with groups have taught me that well-designed and executed dialogue can help teams enhance their ability to be as effective as possible.
I often hear that teams are too busy “DOING business” to have time to work “ON the business”. My team coaching program focuses on inter-group issues that often go unaddressed, using tools to drive team productivity and individual effectiveness that are efficient from both a time and expense perspective.
My team coaching and development tools are below – here’s a quick highlight:
Stakeholder Centered Team Coaching
Who It’s For:
- Existing teams struggling with communication, performance, or accountability;
- Newly formed teams charged with significant and challenging deliverables
What It Is:
- Based upon the Marshall Goldsmith stakeholder centered coaching model;
- Dual focus on team performance and the contributions of each individual team member;
- Improves communication, shapes individual and team behavior, and creates better dialogue among all teammates;
- Results are clearly defined and measured;
- Usually 6 months duration
Do More / Do Less Team Experience
Who It’s For:
- Existing teams seeking improved levels of collaboration and communication
What It Is:
- Team members complete a short summary on each team member, addressing what they should do more of, do less of and what should stay the same;
- Each team member creates a contract regarding one or two behaviors that will facilitate improved team performance;
- This can be accomplished in 4 short segments totaling 7 to 8 hours over four months
Developing or Re-establishing a Vision
Who It’s For:
- Existing teams seeking to re-energize or refocus themselves;
- Creates a contrast between where we are and where we want to be;
- Helps leaders understand how to create alignment where needed
What It Is:
- An interactive team exercise using over 100 vivid and diverse photos;
- Facilitated discussions assist the team in reaching a consensus on the topic in question, clearly revealing current thinking and perspectives;
- Can be accomplished in 3 hours with a demonstrable outcome
Willy Steiner has supported our team for several years and has assisted in countless ways. He has:
- Made us more accountable for the commitments we make to each other and the team;
- Provided valuable insights about how we work together;
- Encouraged us to work “ON” our business instead of just conducting business;
- Helped us shape our communications and encouraged the involvement of our whole staff.
I fully endorse Willy and his contributions to the success of our team.
