Many of us have worked within a team environment and I am guessing that at some point you experienced some sort of dysfunction within the team or group.\u00a0 When this happened to me, I was unaware of how coaching serves to make such an impactful difference with an entire branch office.<\/p>\n

There are a number of dysfunctional traits and I highlight those found within the team I was working with and discuss the positive coaching process that brought us to a more collaborative team.\u00a0 In general, the team functioned independently and what I wanted was something like this: three circles coming together for a common good:<\/p>\n

What was I to do?\u00a0 Start Coaching.<\/p>\n

As we went through the process for each member of the team, I started to see a change in the way they were acting towards one another.\u00a0 As we talked through what worked well, individuals started supporting and identifying all the positive things.\u00a0 When we then asked what to change, it was about identifying how the other teammates could have helped.\u00a0 They were actually offering their assistance and knowledge to each other.\u00a0 They were realizing the importance of every member of the team.<\/p>\n

What I learned through this exercise and am so happy to share with you is: when employees take ownership, they are empowered.\u00a0 When they are clearly held accountable to responsibilities and goals, they feel accomplished.\u00a0 When people are empowered and feel accomplished, they are successful.<\/p>\n
