Enhancing Team and Individual Effectiveness Through a Nondirective Team Coaching Intervention

This study examines the effectiveness of an explicitly nondirective team coaching intervention in enhancing team performance and individual teamwork competencies within self-managed teams. The intervention was implemented across multiple sessions with nine teams in three organizations and was evaluated using a convergent mixed-methods design, in which GROW functioned solely as a light process scaffold while coaches withheld content advice. Quantitative results showed significant improvements in conflict resolution and planning . Qualitative data revealed increases in team alignment, communication , and performance evaluation . These findings suggest that nondirective team coaching can foster autonomy, adaptability, and sustainable team development in dynamic work environments.
