In this episode, we sit down with Harvey Smith, VP Partners, who shares his experience leading partner teams across EMEA through his natural team coaching approach. Harvey opens up about the delicate balance between authority and humility that defines great team coaching leadership. Drawing on his extensive experience at DocuSign, Salesforce, Tableau, and VMware, Harvey reveals how he transformed disparate teams into cohesive units through simple but powerful approaches.His mantra? “If you've got 27 priorities, you haven't got any.” By focusing on no more than three clearly ranked objectives, Harvey empowered his team to stay aligned, and say no to distractions. The phrase “Harvey says no” became a cultural shorthand for protecting priorities and staying on mission. We delve into how genuine trust is built within teams. Harvey shares his belief in vulnerability and accessibility, implementing skip-level meetings where team members could speak freely and career development sessions that demonstrated his commitment to their growth. This created psychological safety that allowed honest communication to flourish.Harvey's innovative approaches to breaking down silos include his "pod model" for cross-functional collaboration and strategic use of "stretch projects" that deliberately positioned team members to connect teams.When it comes to conflict, Harvey doesn't shy away. His take? “Partners are like a car accident – everyone slows down to look but no one wants to get involved.” His solution? Proactive education, clear communication channels, and shared understanding of roles and responsibilities.Book PicksRebel Ideas by Matthew Syed – on the power of diverse thinkingThe Culture Map by Erin Meyer – a must-read for navigating global teams.Whether you're managing partners, leading through change, or simply trying to create more effective teams, this episode offers practical wisdom for balancing the human element with unwavering focus on business outcomes.We would love you to follow us on LinkedIn! https://www.linkedin.com/company/amplified-group/

FREE ACCESS to Introduction to Group and Team Coaching: https://www.igcompany.co.uk/gtcnow Why is team coaching often messier, harder and more rewarding than we expect? In this episode, we dive into one of the most nuanced areas of our work: team coaching. If you've ever been asked to work with a team after coaching an individual, perhaps a senior leader, you may have felt that wave of uncertainty: Can I do this? What do I need to know? Am I ready? We've been there too. Team coaching is richly rewarding, but it's also layered, unpredictable, and deeply human. Through this conversation, we unpack many of the real-world complexities you'll encounter when stepping into this space to show you just how powerful and transformative this work can be. We talk about: Team coaching starts early: success depends on pre-contracting, stakeholder conversations, and clear groundwork before any workshops begin. The team leader's presence is complex: they may influence or disrupt dynamics; sometimes they lead, other times they step back too far. Nested systems within teams matter: old rivalries, power imbalances, and “ghosts of past managers” can quietly shape the group dynamic. Emotional realities are unavoidable: burnout, reluctance, and anxiety about visibility are common and need sensitive handling. The coach must stay present and neutral: it's easy to be pulled into the team's dynamics, but observation without judgement is key. Beware the pull of belonging: coaches can be tempted to become “one of the team,” especially if they miss team environments from past roles, but boundaries are crucial. We wrap up by reminding ourselves (and you) that team coaching is perfectly messy. There's no tidy formula, but with curiosity, courage, and structure, it becomes one of the most impactful forms of coaching there is. If you're curious about stepping into this work, we invite you to access our free introduction to group and team coaching course. Whether you're a coach, a team leader, or someone wanting to navigate team dynamics with more skill and confidence, this is a great place to begin. Key Lessons Learnt: Team coaching starts before the coaching begins. Pre-contracting and alignment conversations are critical. Nested systems matter. Power dynamics, past relationships, and unspoken tensions affect everything. Psychological safety isn't guaranteed. It must be created, respected, and nurtured. You are not a team member. As a coach, your role is to observe the system without being absorbed into it. It's okay to feel uncertain. Team coaching is messy by nature, embrace the ambiguity.

Was braucht es, um in herausfordernden Phasen gemeinsam Innovations- und Veränderungskraft zu erhalten, ohne in alte Muster zurückzufallen? Die Folge lädt dazu ein, typische Missverständnisse von New Work und Transformation zu hinterfragen, sich auf das Wesentliche von Kulturarbeit zu besinnen und nicht zuletzt die Bedeutung von Dialog, Empathie und Menschlichkeit im Arbeitsalltag neu zu entdecken.
