"Leading a diverse team in a high-performance environment requires that you know yourself and how you operate, recognize how others operate and adapt your operating style to be most effective with others.  Sterling Results' coaching helped us understand ourselves, each other, and our team as a whole.  We are now much better established to operate successfully.  Furthermore, we are now armed with the awareness and tools to understand and modify when something doesn't go well"

Transportation Business Manager, Global Engineering Company, Southwestern USA

"In a business that attracts very driven, high performing people with strong technical backgrounds,   leading can be very complex -- especially in our situation which involves over 20 firms.  The work Sterling Results did with us has helped us better understand each other, effectively anticipate areas of disagreement or friction, and implement engagement strategies to diffuse potential problems up front.

TEAM COACHING

è Looking to turn your teams into high-performance vehicles?

è How much would results be propelled if each team functioned as the ultimate fine-tuned high performance vehicle?  If all pistons fired flawlessly and in concert?  If it locked onto its destination using advanced GPS?

Sterling Results' team development coaching applies proven, cost-effective practices to supercharge teams and propel them into their high-performance zone.

Objectives

Recognizing that a team is a unit that is more than the sum of its parts, the Sterling Results coach holds the team itself as the client.  Applying Sterling Results' dynamic team coaching practices, the coach helps the team move into high-performance mode by optimizing the Team Operating System -- the processes that make the team tick as a unit. The coach works collaboratively with the team members to identify specific functional issues that are hampering results -- such as lack of trust, conflict aversion, lack of commitment, accountability avoidance, and inattention to results -- and then to develop a team agenda to address them.

Benefits

During this collaborative team development process, team members discover effective ways to work ON the team itself, rather than just in it as individual contributors. This results in maximized synergy, collaboration, effective conflict resolution, problem-solving and empowerment through participation in the team's leadership pool -- all of which propel the team's results.

Duration & Format

To build team effectiveness, the Sterling Results approach starts with an assessment process.  It then incorporates initial face-to-face work with the whole team, followed by or interspersed with team teleconferences. 

To focus on the distinct issues of any individual, one-on-one spot-coaching sessions can be held in parallel with group coaching as needed.

Arrangements can be adapted to the specific needs of the group.  Team coaching can be linked with appropriate training.  [See: Training]
