Pay close attention during your next team meeting. Observe how your team is coping with today’s complex business challenges. Listen to the way your team communicates in the face of constant change, ambiguity, and increased diversity. What do you notice? Is your team engaged in the battle of best opinions? Or is your team working to cultivate a ‘Coaching Culture’?
A Coaching Culture is the opposite of the battle for best opinions. A Coaching Culture is the collective set of group beliefs, values, and behaviours, that when supported by the right environmental conditions and leadership practices, cultivates mindful curiosity and supportive team member development. This cultivation of mindful curiosity and supportive team member development allows for new shared understandings of the world to emerge. Such new shared understandings of the world are essential for innovation in today's increasingly complex and evolving marketplace. In the words of Albert Einstein "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them”.

To cultivate a Coaching Culture requires a significant developmental mindset shift and change to the way leaders and teams communicate. Over the course of an eight-month integrated group and individual leadership coaching programme, skilled coaches can engage leaders and teams in more quality conversations, where assumptions and biases can be challenged; and where a focus on curious mindful dialogue increases receptivity to diverse ideas, and willingness to break, bend, or blend existing world views. This new growth mindset enables a Coaching Culture to emerge, in which everyday interactions are transformed into developmental opportunities for new shared perspectives and innovation.
