The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of the team coach in enabling the individual and collective potential of teams and their members. Team coaching is a growing HRD intervention for organisations particularly in times of organisational change (Ridler Report 2017). However, the research base for this practice is extremely weak. Increasingly HR managers and internal executive coaches are supporting teams who may be stuck, or are facing significant challenges without necessarily having the confidence and expertise to do so. This paper offers some practical guidance to team coaches in noticing the relational aspects of team behaviour and suggests conversational strategies that can enable constructive dialogue enabling each member to contribute fully to the team’s performance.
