Teams

Teams are a group treated in coaching as an entity different from the sum of individuals. A team's strength emerges less from the competence of its members one by one than from how they work with one another; the same talented people can produce wholly different results within a different dynamic. Coaching looks at the team's communication patterns, its level of trust, and its shared purpose. Most team problems arise not from a lack of skill but from a blockage in relationship and communication. The coach helps the team see its own functioning from the outside and improve it together.
