Abstract:
Worldwide, as complex, globalised, and evolving business
environments have become the norm, there is an increased
need for organisations and management teams to work
together effectively. One way to achieve this is through
team coaching – the practice of “helping the team improve
performance, and the processes by which performance is
achieved, through reflection and dialogue” (Clutterbuck,
2007, p. 77). Since team coaching is often referred to as
an organisational practice but is a relatively new field,
there is a need for a consolidated document that highlights
the concept, process, and potential benefits of how team
coaching can support teamwork within organisations.
Therefore, the goal of this paper is to provide organisational
leaders and learning and development practitioners with an
indication of:
• Why team coaching is important;
• How the practice of team coaching can be used; and
• What to consider when designing a team coaching
approach.
