Unlocking Collective Brilliance: The Impact of Team Coaching…

“... Systemic team coaching is a process by which a team coach works with a whole team, both when they are together and when they are apart, in order to help them improve both their effectiveness and how they work together, and also how they develop their collective leadership to more effectively engage and co-create value with and for all their key stakeholder groups to jointly transform the wider business ecosystem and create beneficial for the wider ecology.”

— (Hawkins., 2021: 82)

Edwin Eve Performance Associates Accredited Team Edge 360 Team Coaching model

‘Creating the Team Edge’ For High-Performing Teams

These segments constitute the fundamental elements of the well-established Creating the Team Edge framework, with each one exemplifying a crucial aspect that contributes to team high performance. With purpose at its core and seven key characteristics that make up a high performing team including values and beliefs, team identity and relatedness.

To excel in creating high performing teams, a fundamental step is understanding the team's specific circumstances and evaluating their progress. To facilitate this, we offer a Team 360 diagnostic tool, a team cultural audit, as part of our team coaching process.

This diagnostic tool involves interviews and a Team 360 Questionnaire, which can survey up to 100 individuals, including team members, direct reports, team sponsors, and stakeholders, regarding how closely the team aligns with our proven model. We use the resulting Team 360 report in our team coaching approach significantly helping to surface unspoken team perspectives and group dynamics in a relational style.

This is a key benefit of Team Coaching compared to other team development approaches such as training or facilitation. In one McKinsey study where 600 senior executives at 30 multinationals were surveyed they found that top teams spend less than 30% of their time in productive collaboration (McKinsey, 2011). A shocking statistic. This is particularly concerning when considering the high stakes of senior team performance where arguably dysfunctional teams can slow down or derail a whole company (lets not forget leaders set the tone in an organisation). This 30% productive collaboration statistic dropped even further on critical subjects and those topics where a vested interest was present. Therefore our overarching team coaching mission is to foster improved collaboration among teams both within and across organisations, resulting in substantial and enduring change.

You wouldn’t expect a top-performing sports team to not have a team coach, why would business be any different when the stakes are even higher?

“As our team coach … Edwin engaged and put programs together to reconnect the team in this new virtual world not only did this give a sense of belonging but also reenergised the team to develop, deliver and grow individually and as team members. I can say today we are a stronger team based on Edwins' coaching program and development.

Every interaction with Edwin had me walking away feeling, challenged, inspired, enriched, and enabled to successfully deliver and already looking forward to our next interaction. I can honestly say that Edwin has made a huge impact in my business and personal thinking”.
