associates in a holistic focus is what makes the team strong.
Developing individual team members so they compensate for and
support one another makes them a team. As individuals improve,
the team improves. The result of moving among your roles of
coaching, mentoring and counseling is what your team produces
— productivity and job satisfaction.
Ask employees today what motivates them to join one
organization over another and a top response is to be able to work
with the team. Integrating your individual associates into the team
requires the same skilled approaches of the StaffCoach™. Shared
values, common goals, constant rewards and satisfaction take a
group and shape it into a top-performing team.
Instill Team Vision .............................................................................................
The greatest outcome of successful StaffCoaching™ is a team
that works together for inspired performance. Given the right
vision and guidance, any team can achieve new levels of
performance. In a visionary environment of trust and commitment,
people develop strengths they never knew they had.
Every truly great coach in history had a vision ... a dream of
what a team could achieve ... whether that coach was Roy
Williams, Martin Luther King, Martha Graham or Walt Disney.
The coach who integrates individual performers into one cohesive
team with a common view is the coach who gets results. Great
coaches communicate that vision to their teams in a way that
inspires.
For you to be an outstanding StaffCoach™ and build a team
that achieves inspired performance, you need to have a vision, and
then you need to share it. Every person on your team must feel
that she has a personal stake in the vision. Your role as coach gives
your people a vision that meets their needs and motivates them to
be the best they can be. Having an inspiring goal keeps the team
on target, but the excitement and energizing addition of vision
draw people in.
Integrating the Individual and the Team
Only with vision
can you have a
winning team.
