Systemic Team Coaching – Applications to Executive Leadership

by | Feb 26, 2019

 

Systemic Executive Leadership Team Coaching has become an increasing trend in the world of executive coaching. Why? Because it maximizes organizational performance while celebrating an individual’s uniqueness. Here’s a short explanation on what systemic executive leadership team coaching is and its importance.

Traditionally, executive coaching addresses the whole of a client. So, when various members are being coached within a corporate organization, they are all being coached as individuals who happen to be a part of the same organization. Each executive leader is being coached to reach their own personal goals.

While this approach has proved to catalyze the performance growth of individual executives, each of these individuals is part of a bigger whole – the organization. So, to bring about a synergistic growth, a systemic team coaching approach would be far more promising. This is because it ensures the alignment of individual goals to organizational goals. 

Systemic Coaching helps individuals and leadership teams see how working towards small personal goals contributes towards larger organizational goals and vice-versa. This fosters a sense of belonging and clarity in direction.

In summary, Systemic Executive Leadership Team Coaching is coaching individual executives and leadership teams comprising of such individuals in alignment with the corporate organizational goals.
