Abstract
Growth Coaching International was asked to help a manage- ment team in a professional services firm in Sydney Australia change their culture by becoming more respectful of their colleagues and a happier place to work. 12 professional high achievers make up this team. They were very capable in their own right. However the team had been behaving in a dysfunctional and competitive way. The leader of this team was very keen to get this team back on track and to create a culture of unity and respect. The team facilitated their own team workshop 3 months beforehand using a problem- focused approach but had no success. Growth Coaching were engaged to work with the leader and the team over a 6-month period. The project included individual coaching sessions for the leader and 2 workshops and follow up meet- ings with the team. In just 4 months the team have experienced significant changes in their culture and their interactions.
