Content: A team coach should be finely attuned to the many relationships within the team. The coach has to work within at least 3 relational units: with individual coachees, with the team as a whole, and with the organization. A Long-Term View
Team coaching doesn’t always have immediate results. Other business and organizational demands are great and constant, so a coach shouldn’t pressure the group to change too much too soon. If a team coach is persistent and patient, the team and the individuals within it will function more effectively. By partnering with the team in the context of its everyday work challenges, the coach can introduce new ideas and see opportunities to improve team performance.

Being a team coach requires a wide range of skills and perspectives. Underlying those are personal qualities of courage, risk-taking, and maturity.
