What is the difference between a team and a group?

Group is just a group of people.

A team is made of people gathered together by one goal.

The team acts as one person. When, for some reason, a member of the team is absent, the rest of the team performs his functions continuing to pursue the goal. This can be compared with the human body: when, for example, one kidney stops functioning, its functions are performed by the other kidney and the rest of the body. The same is true for the brain.

The purpose of the Teambuilding coaching is to transform a group into a team wherever it is required using coaching models and tools.

For example, Teambuilding coaching can be very useful in business, sports, politics, and not only.

What is a coaching training session?

Coaching training session is prepared together with the participants applying the goals achievement model “GROW” where G – setting a goal, R – study of the reality, resources and restrictions, O – search for opportunities for the goal achievement, W – ways for the goals’ achievement. Then, the participants and the coach develop together a training program that is supposed to help a common goal achievement. The team motivation and the development of the ways to achieve a common goal constitute the results of such program. In this way a group turns into a team where the work will be more efficient. Personal efficiency and performance in general increase.

  3. When one needs to get a general business vision from the team and develop a program for its implementation
  4. When it is necessary to reduce the resistance to company changes
  5. When it is necessary to increase the personnel’s commitment and individual interest in solving company assignments and problems

What are the benefits of a coaching training session?

  1. The group turns into a working and efficient team
  2. More clear understanding of goals and objectives
  3. More clear ways to achieve the goals and objectives set for the team
  4. People participate in a more creative way in the process of company goals achievement
  5. More flexible approach to solving problems comes up
  6. Responsibility is accepted by the team itself in contrast to control approach
  7. The team requires less control by the management of the company

It was John Whitmore who for the first time introduced the coaching style into the corporations’ management (see definition of the term “Coaching”). If the company manager possesses coaching management skills, then the management is also easier for him.
