In the fast-paced world of modern business, team coaching is presented as the miracle solution to all organizational ills. But let's not be fooled: is this new trend truly a revolutionary advancement or simply a fleeting management fad?

The Myth of the Savior Coach

It's remarkable how often companies turn to external coaches to "unite" and "energize" their teams/executive committees. These coaches promise to align skills, prevent conflicts, and improve overall performance. Isn't this a somewhat simplistic view of human and organizational complexity? Thinking that a few coaching sessions, however sophisticated, can transform a team is, to say the least, utopian.

The Abuse of Responsibility by Leaders

The use of team coaching also raises the question of leaders' responsibility. Instead of developing their own team management skills, leaders rely on external consultants to solve internal problems. Where has the notion of authentic and engaged leadership gone? Today's leaders seem more inclined to outsource their responsibilities than to genuinely engage with their team's dynamics.

How to choose a good partner?

Some sell 20-hour "services" for results that are often barely tangible. Consultants, with their sometimes obscure methodologies and tools, promise the moon and the stars. But where is the concrete evidence of these promised transformations? The references displayed in PowerPoint presentations are not enough to mask the lack of measurable results.

Towards a Managerial Revolution?

However, it would be unfair to throw the baby out with the bathwater. If team coaching is conducted seriously and rigorously, it can provide real added value. It should be considered a complement, not a substitute, to internal skills development. The real challenge is to make coaching an integrated and ongoing practice, rather than a simple one-off intervention.
