Team Coaching: the 6 Team Conditions Framework by Gemma Jiang, PhD.

The most important problems and aspirations of our time can only be addressed by brilliant collaborations in team contexts. But most teams do not live up to their full potential. What are the highest leverage points for intervening in team effectiveness?

The 6 Team Conditions framework is about the conditions that influence superb team performance. These conditions point to the deeper structural elements that influence team processes. In certain contexts, coaching on these structural elements of teams could yield better results than process oriented coaching such as conflict resolution and process consultation. For example, a seemingly unresolvable conflict between two team members could be alleviated by clarifying the compelling purpose of the team, which is one of the three essential conditions.

During this DD session, you will be introduced to this framework, its implications and applications. We will cover:

1. The three aspects of team effectiveness, the three key task processes, the three essentials, and the three enablers;
2. The 60–30–10 rule of designing, launching, and coaching teams
3. Slow vs. fast variables; leading vs. lagging indicators; and structural vs. process coaching
