Ask yourself these questions about your team:

	Do your team members take responsibility for the team's overall success?
	Do all team members operate within the same sense of purpose and with the same vision as their leader?
	Does your team have a high level of trust among the members?
	Does your team regularly evaluate how it is doing and how well it is working together?
	Does everyone clearly understand their role and the role of all team members so that accountabilities are clear?
	Have you defined how you will work together and how you will resolve differences?
	Can your team self-correct when it finds itself off course or when business circumstances suddenly change?
	Is everyone on your team committed to each others success as well as the team's success?

If you answered with several "no's" team coaching is a development process your team needs. What does a team coaching process look like? The exact process is custom designed based on your specific needs, but the following tools are often included:

	Team Assessment: Using a simple tool, we will evaluate where your team stands so that everyone can have a clear picture of how the team is working.
	Individual Assessment: A DISC behavioral style profile, Workplace Motivators, and a Personal Talents Skills Inventory are administered to each team member to establish a strong starting point for discussion about management and communication styles, motivations and capabilities of the team. The Coach will review and interpret each assessment tool with the team members to establish an in-depth understanding of the results and their implications on the functioning of the team.
	Team Behavioral Report to help your organization leverage behavioral knowledge for increased success and a Team Motivators Report to highlight and build upon the strengths that each person brings to a team.

These last two reports are important components to building effective teams because they consider each team member's individual behavioral style and motivators to determine the team's dynamics. It takes only 10 minutes to complete the 24-question online assessment, then each individual's results are combined into one, easy-to-use report.

The Team Behavioral Report will help you detail the strengths, weaknesses, problem solving abilities, communication preferences and potential areas for conflict within each of the behavioral styles represented by your teams. The Team Motivators Report will help you detail the factors, characteristics and potential areas for conflict within each of the motivators represented by your teams. By recognizing, understanding and appreciating these factors, teams can achieve increased productivity and overall team cohesiveness.
