High-level principles

---

We use Team coaching, interspersed with key injections of exploration & learning, as the primary approach for working with you and your team. 

The principle of team coaching is one of the most effective ways to accelerate the growth, development & performance of your team. 

Team coaching is a very different discipline from traditional coaching and role-models good practice in an engaging, non-contentious way, and it enables the team to inclusively draw upon the very best of each other in a safe, harmonious, and highly effective way. 

Team coaching enables teams to co-create greater beneficial value with and for all their stakeholders, whilst at the same time taking into account the systemic demands of the wider organization.  It also builds the learning & execution capacity of the team.
 

We are skilled at providing this support remotely, using online technologies. In fact, it's just one of the things we want to role-model with you, demonstrating the importance of mastering team working and team engagement, online.

"Teams do not create purpose; instead, it is the purpose that creates the team." Professor Peter Hawkins 

There is no doubt that teams that are aligned around a strong sense of purpose, will significantly out-perform teams that aren't, and in today's super-competitive marketplaces this could provide the critical performance edge. 

Tribal-Teams provide the opportunity for teams to authentically understand how purpose is created, enabling them to easily and powerfully align behind it, creating a true value-creation partnership with their stakeholders. 

We don't just offer a 'nod' to people working as a notional tribe. Instead, we draw upon key principles of ancient tribal wisdom in order to further heighten this sense of purposefulness. Through this greater connection with purpose and values, individuals & teams are able to harness their full capability.

Working this way helps embed principles of collaboration, serving the wider collective, tapping into an individual's own discretionary performance. This is something that cannot be instructed or commanded; it can only be volunteered. In our experience, it is only volunteered where there is a heightened sense of alignment & the sense of purpose & values outweighs the task or instruction. 

We work with teams to co-create this together, irrespective of the team's construct and locations.   

 Trust, authenticity, inclusiveness & psychological safety are critical enablers when it comes to creating predictable team success, & performance under pressure; 

This is particularly true when the team is working in a remote or hybrid working environment, and so we will work with you to role model this, and to help the team create this for themselves. 

We will help establish clear ground rules and working practices in order to help the team authentically understand & value their collective purpose & identity. 

Drawing upon tribal values and principles, we will help ensure the team defines their soul and inclusively play to their individual and collective strengths.  

Our approach & intent ensures a movement away from interdependence with us, to independence from us, so that the team takes on the coaching of themselves as a team; self-manages the induction of new team members, and responsibly determines their responses to future organisational and marketplace changes.  

By focussing in on the key principles described, our approach ensures that exemplary performance and results are sustainably achieved as a bi-product of the team harmoniously working together.

Our approach ensures the team is individually and collectively aligned around the high-value impact for their stakeholders.

This sense of camaraderie and building of the team's capacity ensures a more inclusive, harmonious approach to working together. 

Key measures of our collective success will be agreed upon with you and the team up-front, and we will regularly monitor and review progress against these, to ensure optimal performance is a given. 

Our approach is transparent. Our goal is to coach our way out of your team; leaving the team to take on the role of team-coaching themselves. We don't fear this; in fact, it's our explicit goal!
