Answer Questions

There is a bewildering array of models, variables, frameworks, and advice out there about how to have a great team. What does the best science say, and how can you bring it to life in practice? 

I introduce the idea of conditions thinking as a way of approaching team coaching, and introduce the 6 Conditions framework that comes from our many decades of research on teams. We will explore: What are the handful of conditions, when we get them in place, that together set up a team to develop great teamwork practices and evolve into a superb performing unit? We’ll talk about how the science of teams as complex systems—and of conditions thinking—has so much power to guide our practice toward real impact. 

  1. The science of team effectiveness can guide artful team coaching practice.
  2. There are 6 conditions—designable features of teams—that together account for 80% of the variance in team effectiveness.
  3. Great team coaches help teams and leaders see themselves as designers who get the conditions in place for their own teams, and keep them in place over time.
