From the Vault 2020: Do you know the difference between a group and a team? Could misinterpreting the two be the reason why your organisation is underperforming? This engaging episode spotlights the often overlooked yet crucial intricacies that separate a 'team' from a 'group'. We tell you how our understanding of the two was completely transformed during an initial Team Coaching Certificate Program.

Ready to alter your thinking?

Delving into the heart of organisational performance, we highlight the importance of shared values, collective purpose, and mutual accountability as defining features of a team, as opposed to groups that focus on individual goals and development. Citing the work of respected researchers like Jennifer Britton and David Clutterbuck, we clarify the distinctions between group and team coaching. Are you part of a group thinking it's a team? Or are you a real team, working towards a shared objective? Be prepared for some eye-opening revelations that will make you re-evaluate your workplace dynamics. Let's connect at belemleaders.org to explore this further. Schedule your call today!
