Leadership Development and Team Coaching
The truth is that EVERY CLIENT is different just as EVERY ENGAGEMENT is different, therefore, our work begins with a conversation.
We come to your office and really listen for the ways we can best be of service to you. We look for the pain within the team, group, Board or entire organization. We can discuss several options until TOGETHER we find the one that resonates most for you and your company. In other words Teamswork CUSTOMIZES each engagement.
This is what sets Teamswork apart from our competition. We believe in the power of the relationship. If your company is interested in changing your culture, have new management, downsizing, new product, family succession planning, mergers/acquisitions, leadership development, or teaching a team/group/Board how to work better together and increase the bottom line of your organization then you should talk to us. Change management deals with changing methods, processes, procedures, and systems brought on by internal and external influences. Our change management and organizational development experience helps leaders create change teams that, with coaching and training, can drive the change management plan. Our change management and organizational development knowledge is especially effective where mergers and acquisitions fail because of poor planning and lack of attention to the differences in leadership approach and organizational culture.
Most organizations choose a two day workshop with follow up coaching with the team, however, some are able to get their people together for one day with follow up coaching. Teamswork will customize your workshop to suit you! After the first conversation we like to use an assessment to understand your culture better. The assessment tool is also a road map for the work ahead. Teamswork is a facilitator for the two leading team assessments based in relationship systems intelligence. See the Resources/Tools Section.
Executive Leadership Coaching
Why are we passionate about developing leadership in others? We believe that there is a leader inside of everyone. It takes courage, strength, will, desire, self-knowledge, creativity and wisdom to look inside and love our healthy leader parts and our shadow sides. It is life-long learning and not for the faint of heart.
The HOW: This engagement is to coach individual leaders on a one to one basis. Each client receives sessions conducted every other week, a leadership 360 profile and an individual coaching plan. Coaching sessions can be a mixture of on site – face to face (local) or for longer distances, telephone sessions. The coaching plan is designed around the development of the individual leader and their leadership capabilities and changes as they do. Each coaching plan is custom designed for each leader. Ethically, the company is the client and the leader the beneficiary of the service, which means the leader development plan must meet the approval of the client sponsor.
Mastering Leadership, Bob Anderson, CEO and Founder, The Leadership Circle
- We empower our leadership when we choose to create the future we want in the midst of the current culture and begin the process of learning what we need to learn to do so.
- Empowerment is a stance of responsibility for the whole but it does not require that the whole rearrange itself to support own vision and provide a safe path. Rather, empowerment orients us toward influencing the whole through our own personal example. It is a stance of vision, courage and authenticity. It is the stance of a leader.
- Empowered leadership means making our own behaviour consistent with our vision.
- Empowered leadership is about living our greatest potential as human
- If empowerment is the capacity to create what matters, leadership is enhancing the collective capacity to create.
Team System Coaching
Based on a 360 culture assessment, Teamswork will create a profile for your organization to use as a map for change. We will meet with you to analyze the results and to plan the course of action using the strengths and challenges of the team. A one or two day off site retreat workshop is planned with aligned outcomes and deliverables between Teamswork and your organization. Follow up twice monthly sessions are scheduled with our team coaches to deepen and develop the learning from the retreat workshop. This can be done over the phone or in person as designed by your organization in conjunction with the team.
