Common team problems
In our work with organisations over the last 20 years we have helped teams overcome a whole range of problems which were holding back their performance:
- Team members don’t have crucial conversations or give each other clear feedback
- Team members don’t fully trust one another
- Decision-making is slow and inefficient
- Teams lack alignment on the strategy and purpose of the team
- Different team members’ values get in the way of collaboration
- Teams struggle to integrate new members – a change in personnel creates a dip in team performance
- Project-based teams struggle to form and adapt sufficiently quickly
- Teams are unable to deal constructively with differences in approach or views.
Our OCM Coach designed and delivered for us a very inspiring and practical session which promoted thinking and provided great opportunities to apply the concepts [of adaptability and resilience] to our daily activities. … the workshop not only helped us all individually to become more adaptable, it also gave us a greater understanding of how to improve our team effectiveness in a changing environment. Feedback from my team after the workshop was that it was “one of the most useful workshops they had ever attended”.

How can we help?
The OCM’s Team Coach-Mentors build a powerful partnership with the team leader and the team to deliver success for the individuals, the team and the wider organisation. A Team Coach-Mentor leads the team through a series of conversations and activities to catalyse and release increased performance and potential not only meeting the challenges of today but learning how to collaborate and learn together for the future.
Our model of team coach-mentoring works across a number of areas. Team coaching will cover some, or all of these, depending on the team’s unique context:
- Clarity – ensuring alignment on the team’s purpose, goals, culture and ways of working. And ensuring team members understand each other’s roles
- Coordination – Making sure that team members’ activities are aligned with one another and with the purpose of the team - for the long-term
- Commitment – Building team members’ commitment to the team and to each other’s success
- Capability – Building team members’ skills, particularly around leadership, learning, strategic visioning, execution and problem solving.
