“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts…”
We’ve all heard it, but do you believe it, and more importantly, do you practice it?
When a team is operating at high performance, they model interdependency as a whole system, valuable beyond the sum total of each talented team member.
In the mathematics world, Sigma means summation. Our work with leadership teams helps to create a stronger team as a whole, beyond functional representation and individual agendas.
As with any challenge necessitating self-awareness and behavioral change, the support of an experienced and objective coach is critical. But more than that is needed.
Coaching teams, especially at the executive level, requires skills as unique as the teams themselves. The work is far from typical, off-the-shelf leadership development programs or team-building trust games so popular in past decades. Good team coaching, work that transforms the way a team sees themselves and redefines the way they work together, takes time and skill. And guts.
