TeamGrowing: Develop the team
Help the team grow
Teams form easily: we like to work together. But we want more: we want the teams to become better, to become performing, to achieve impact, to be supportive of each other.
As a Teamgrowing coach, you can help your team through the forming - storming - norming - performing cycle. You provide them with tools that help improve themselves.
In other words, help the team grow and become stronger.
Supportive and positive
The single best predictor of team productivity, Google found, is psychological safety. An environment where people can speak freely and do not need to worry.
One aspect of safety is the feeling that the team members will support each other. When is the last time you gave a compliment to a fellow team member? This is what we encourage with the 'compliment shower': write something positive about your colleague team member on a paper on their backs.
Positivity is linked to the Broaden-Build effect: a mind in a positive drive finds more creative and better solutions than a brain under negative stress. That is why we focus on creating positivity in the teams.
