LDF IN TEAMS

Hosted by Ian Mitchell

Dates  10, 17 and 24 May

Overview

The 2016 Ridler report projected that 53% of organisations expected to utilise team or group coaching interventions during the following 2 years. In the end it’s taken a little longer: the Covid-19 induced corporate belt tightening, compounded by the subsequent need to create effective virtual team coaching interventions, has slowed progress slightly.

But as 2021 beds in, it presents organisations with an urgent need to understand and respond to a rapidly unfolding need for leadership teams to redefine purpose whilst successfully delivering on their required outputs within the context of an increasingly more challenging global landscape.  Developing a deeper understanding of how they, individually and collectively, go about making meaning can significantly increase their capacity to work both collaboratively and innovatively in pursuing these objectives. 

Outline

In these three workshops we will explore together a number of ways in which team members’ individual LDF profiles can combine to offer scaffolding to support a team’s inquiry into, amongst other things, its own purpose, processes, responses to complex dilemmas, ability to work in novel and creative ways and ‘shape-shift’ in response to changing commercial landscapes.  The sessions will combine to create a four-stage journey focussing on:

• the conceptual “why” of working with LDF in a team context
• the structural approach to shaping the report and developing its internal integrity
• the nature of debrief and the “how” of landing it with a client
• the broader context of where the LDF might sit within a wider Team Coaching project

Working largely from evidence provided from several case studies, we will explore together how to package and present individual LDF data in a way that makes sense to the whole team without creating a sense of action-logic hierarchy. We’ll also reflect together on the importance of ‘landing the language’ of vertical development in an inclusive manner when working with teams whilst still retaining its developmental impetus. And we’ll consider how individual leaders’ personal explorations into the three domains of inquiry (I. We and It) can be brought into the team debrief conversation so as to benefit the wider organisational system.

Finally, we’ll talk together specifically about delivering all this within a genuinely team coaching, rather than a purely training or facilitative environment; and of how Harthill can help you deepen your team coaching practice in service of your organisational clients.
