ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on approaches to coaching teams for their development, performance improvement, innovation and sustainability: building shared vision; creating a social identity group for sustainability; coaching with compassion versus coaching for compliance; and developing multiple levels of resonant leaders. Coaching teams, like any effort aimed at sustained, desired change, is a multi-level challenge and only occurs when the change is also occurring at individual, dyadic, organizational, and even community levels within the system. In addition, a series of studies comparing the approach to coaching working adults has shown important differences in affective and hormonal arousal and neural activation of networks help a person become more open to new ideas. The chapter explains The techniques of coaching with compassion versus coaching for compliance. The approach to coaching with the most published research showing its impact of any approach to coaching and how it works is based on intentional change theory.
