Faq

  • It’s usually a management team, but could be any team. The manager participates and has decision-making authority.

  • Teams of 7+ are too big for this program—but we’d be happy to talk about another solution for the team.

  • We need the entire team. The exception is if part of the team is working on a project – so, in essence, they are a sub-team.  The goal is to have the "whole" that is working together on a common goal.

  • The maximum is 8 teams, so expect a total of 50-60 people in the cohort. We'll be sure to break the cohort into smaller groups for discussions so the group doesn’t feel too big.

  • The cohort workshops and team coaching will happen over Zoom. In the rare instance where a team is less than 20 miles from a coach’s home office, we may travel to the team for in-person coaching.

  • Teams that plan for an additional 4 to 8 hours of effort per module will see the most greatest benefits.

  • Team coaching is for the WHOLE team, so the team is responsible for making sure the team gets the information. Each team will uniquely design for this with own team members.

  • Teams will struggle with new concepts - and that's where we can do some amazing learning and application in the team coaching sessions. If the team needs even more support, we can consider adding additional team-specific support (fee-based).

  • Heck, yes! The coaches will be available via email for one-off questions, and perhaps a short check-in to help keep the team on track.

  • We’ll use the Team Diagnostic Assessment from Team Coaching International both before & after to measure improvement across 14 attributes of effective teams. These attributes resonate well with mission-driven teams, and provide useful comparison to for-profit teams.
