How to Unlock and Transform Teams | Making the Invisible Visible with Bennett Bratt

Can Team Coaching be more of an accelerator for performance than Leadership Coaching?   So much focus is placed on leaders and the role of leadership in organizations, but that’s the sound of one-hand clapping. As Bennett Bratt says, “If a leader is going to change, they need the crucible in which to do it, and that’s their team.”Ben is a self-proclaimed Team Geek, and you are about to learn why this is well-earned moniker. This episode is “Making the Invisible Visible with Bennett Bratt.”Bennett (Ben) Bratt helps leaders and their teams create the transformative, inclusive, and enduring changes in their team effectiveness that fuel their most deeply desired outcomes. He’s the author of The Team Discovered (BMI Publishing 2020) and he’d love to hear the story of your team.In this episode, Ben answers the following questions:- What do we mean by team effectiveness and collaboration?- What are the components of team effectiveness?- What is a leaders role in supporting teamwork?- What is the role of a team in change?To help leaders and teams see, discuss, and act on the thing that is getting in the way, aka the “invisible,” Ben uses a process called SNOW (See It Name It Own It Work It) and he’ll demonstrate it with the teams he’s working with to help them get into the practice.My favorite quote from the episode: “You can coach a leader all you want, but that doesn’t change an ecosystem.”  What I know to be true about the episode: I admire how you can hear Ben's experience and wisdom resonate in how clear and precise his words are in this conversation.   What I learned from the episode: More of an amplification of how much of a limiting belief it is to place so much importance on one person, a leader, when almost everything gets done due to the interdependence of a team and the organization they reside in.
