Î Whiteboard Coaching: Using the discussion from Define & Coach, use the whiteboard to drill down the behaviors and skills necessary to have successful team building activities. On the left-hand side of the board, write down how the team describes their current team building capabilities, on the right, have them describe their ideal team building capabilities. Then, erase the left-hand side of the board and have them discuss how to make the right side a reality.
Suggested Learning Projects:
Î Peer-to-Peer Coaching: To help with team building dynamics, use peer-to-peer relationships to help foster what you discuss during the questions and learning projects sections. To set up these peer relationships, pair employees with others that you feel can challenge them in a constructive way or bring them out of their shells with the team. Simply providing a peer mentorship opportunity gives your employees a chance to have their opinions heard.
Supplemental Coaching Strategies:
Î Non-Verbal Coaching: Leave them a hand-written note on their desk when you observe improvement in their team building capabilities. This will be an easy task when you observe them throughout the week. Make sure your note is specific and descriptive. Î Team Lunch: After a few weeks, treat the team to either a group lunch day, team meeting outside, or something that gets people to think outside of the box. Rewards can go a long way beyond the simple act.
