Podcast 2: An interview with David Clutterbuck, coaching the team at work

In the second TCF podcast, we interview David Clutterbuck, author of a new book on Coaching the Team at Work about that very subject.

David talks about definitions of coaching, what a team is and the role of the coach when coaching the team at work. Discussion explores agreeing and sustaining clarity of purpose in a team; the distinct roles to be recognised in a team; the challenges that difference types of teams face; the existence of conflict within teams and managing that conflict; requirements for internal & external communication; processes and decision-making in teams; the importance of thinking within teams; the need for psychological safety within teams and how a team begins to coach itself.

A frustrating interview becasue the interviewer failed to ask the speaker to give specific examples of problems dealt with. Clutterbuck therefore spoke most of the time in rather obvious generalities.
