In my last blog, I discussed the importance of Systemic Team Development towards maximising organisational leadership effectiveness, and quoted Peter Hawkins (2017) who suggests that any team wishing to be effective, needs to ask the following,
What do we need to do together as a team to meet the needs of the greater system, now and in the future, that we could not do apart?
Peter Hawkins, 2017
I shared that Moya’s ALE programmes for individuals, and especially for teams, uses the core Systemic Team Coaching (STC) principles, together with a STC approach that focuses on coaching an entire team simultaneously; equipping them to reach levels of effectiveness beyond what they’ve envisaged possible, allowing them to have a 360o influence within their current systems.
The STC approach in particular, is a process by which a coach team of minimum two co-coaches, works with entire client teams in order to help them improve their collective performance, how they work separately and together and how they develop their collective effective leadership. This enables them to engage more effectively with all their key stakeholder groups to jointly transform the wider organisation, as illustrated in the following diagram, starting with commissioning, and throughout ensuring core learning.
Prior to commencing coaching against the actual team development agenda with the team, there are a number of steps involving scoping, design and developing the agenda for the programme. It is important always to commence with a 360o systemic diagnosis of the team strengths that can be harnessed, else weaknesses that need to be addressed to take the team to the next level of effectiveness.
To this end, I introduce you to Team Connect 360, a powerful diagnostic tool, developed by Renewal Associates in collaboration with the Academy of Executive Coaching, which will give your team new and valuable insights into how they can be more effective and productive. Once the inquiry into the team and its context has been completed, collaborative sense-making needs to take place together with the team, before any team development agenda can be agreed upon.
