Straight Talk on Team Coaching

To quote Jeff Sutherland, who took systems theory to the world of project teams and invented Scrum, “Organizations, teams, and people are all complex adaptive systems. To introduce change into any system, you will inevitably create chaos”. But adapt they can, and by following some simple rules, teams can become more productive, happier, supportive, and fun.

And that’s a lot like Team Coaching: Individuals come together with the help of the Team Coach to go through change, experience some chaos in the process, but emerge transformed. They become deeply accountable to their objectives, interact better and more effectively, and strive for constant, iterative improvement.
