It is not just because of the cost savings of working with a team as opposed to individuals in the team.
It is because; leaders alone do not create successful businesses.
When you strip away everything, all organisations are a collection of people working on tasks together to produce a product or service that satisfies the end user. I hear it every day: “But we are different”. What they do may be different, but they’re still a group of human beings with fundamentally the same needs.
Deloitte’s newly released Global Capital Trends 2014 survey findings report that engagement and retention is the top issue on the minds of CEOs and HR managers. The survey involved over 2500 businesses in over 90 countries, and covered all the major industries across the globe.
When a team is underperforming, has had or is facing, a big membership change, emotions and unproductive behaviour regularly spiral out of control. In these situations, many want their leaders to be different – less critical or more understanding.
Or leaders want their staff to be different – to buy in to their ideas and respond positively to change. They say things like, “they don’t respect me,” "they don't work as hard as me" or “he doesn’t make good decisions.”
Coaching teams as opposed to running a one off team intervention guarantees to change the performance of a team.
The Team Management Systems Team Profile, with its unique team assessment system, provides a clear picture of a team and the impact each member has on the performance of the team.
People practice what they prefer and therefore perform better in those areas that match their preference. This gives them pleasure from their work. - Law of the Four P's
Understanding work preferences is a critical component in developing individual, team and organisational performance.
The PINNACLE Development process, using the Team Management Profile enables you to assess and develop teams through its unique individual assessment and subsequent team coaching process, resulting in multiple levels of understanding and more engaged and efficient leadership and teams.
By enhancing each team member’s knowledge and understanding of themselves and the workplace with an external coach and by giving them a simple language to communicate, you can help teams to achieve peak performance, leading to business success.
