Why Team Development?

  • The Situation

    As COO of my previous organization, my mandate was to bring consensus to a disparate group of departments with a clear history of conflicts and blame.

  • The Journey

    My executive coaching work began with me. The coaching made it clear that I needed to redefine my own success as that of my team. My coach helped me break away from daily fire drills to design thoughtful and challenging team off-sites. We slowly pulled together a group of people who had been adversaries to a team with the goal of shared success. My coach was a partner to me and my team in this process. They gave us the structure, perspective and facilitated the discussions (and sometimes arguments) between the team. My coach was able to draw parallels from their own executive experience along with their coaching and team development expertise.

  • The Results

    The results of this were astonishing. We broke down barriers between construction and engineering teams and eliminated the finger pointing and blame that is inherent between those two functions. We integrated our business development and pro forma project analysis with our technical team so that we got aggressive, but reasonable estimates for the purposes of bidding on and winning new business. In short, we built one of the highest performing teams in our industry by mitigating some of the most common difficulties of integrating technical and sales functions.
