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”.
