Your people are your biggest asset...yet so few teams reach their potential. Why? Two reasons. (1) Teams suffer when they ignore their strengths. Team members are often unaware of their own strengths, let alone their fellow teammates' strengths, let alone how those strengths could work together to produce synergy. (2) Poor communication shuts down creative problem solving. There's a reason we use the hostile phrase "shot down" to talk about what happens when the ideas we've shared go up in flames. Creativity flourishes in safe environments in which brainstorming is a truly collaborative activity and open-ended questions are used to elicit new ideas.

Working together is not an innate talent but a skill to be learned. Coaching can facilitate that learning. |
