Team Coaching

Better We.

No single leader, no matter how talented, is sufficient to scale the complex challenges organizations are experiencing in today’s world.

Collective leadership is the key competitive and innovative advantage.

Optimizing a team’s capability to collaborate successfully is critical. And we know what works.

Research shows certain conditions need to be in place for a team to be effective.

Teams can stumble due to low trust, lack of shared commitment, accountability, unproductive conflict, and poor communication, among others. All diminish effectiveness. To create sustainable change, it’s important to understand what might be driving those behaviors.

6 Designable Conditions enable 3 Critical Team Behaviors that drive 3 Key Results.

Decades of research and the empirical study of 1000+ team in diverse global settings, validated the finding that 80% of a team’s effectiveness is predicted by the 6 Team Conditions. You can dive deeper into these 6 conditions here.

Focusing only on changing team members’ behaviors and dynamics won’t produce sustainable results. It’s like fixing the walls of a building when the foundation is what needs work. Structure often drives behavior. Designing or re-launching your team(s) aligned with these 6 Conditions can unleash a team’s greatness

The Team Diagnostic Survey™️

The corollary assessment for the 6 Conditions framework is the Team Diagnostic Survey™️ (TDS).

It is the only commercially available team effectiveness measure that has made it through a rigorous peer review process. The TDS produces a thorough report that provides scoring on the 6 Conditions and pragmatic ways team leaders, members, and internal/external coaching can help to reimagine, elevate, and sustain team excellence.

After more than two years of addressing pandemic related operational challenges, I wanted to find a facilitator to assist our senior team in resetting how we work together and with the rest of our staff team. While a close-knit team that has functioned well given the circumstances, we knew we needed to engage more strategically and found the right partner in Linda Beitz to help us do that. Through conversations with each of our senior team prior to our retreat, she assessed where we were and how we all viewed the possibilities for an even higher performing team. Linda worked with us over the course of a half day to clarify and define our purpose as a senior team. Since our meeting, our focus has been stronger than ever on strategy and empowering our teams. We appreciate Linda’s process in helping us be even more successful.

– Christie Tarantino-Dean, CEO, Institute of Food Technologists

We hired Linda to help improve dynamics among members of our critically important leadership team. With Linda’s encouragement and guidance, the team experienced success in pivoting away from their difficult past and toward a positive vision for their work where they could appreciate and benefit from the gifts each member brings to the team and the people we serve. Linda is truly as she describes herself: a ‘trusted, energetic, knowledgeable and experienced champion’ for her clients. She’s awesome.

– Executive Committee Members, Chicagoland Non-Profit

From the start, Linda was a member of our team through and through. She began by gaining a thorough and broad understanding of our organization and used her experience and our goals to create a meaningful and impactful two-day retreat for our community that both met our organization’s strategic needs while lifting our employees and bringing us closer into alignment around our work together.
