‘Eliminate distractions when connecting with your team. Have a ‘no screen time’ rule.’

‘Approach each conversation with confidence– lead with positive intent.’

‘Recognize your team members’ contributions to both the process and results with equal exuberance and praise.’

‘People who lead teams can foster integration by acting on values, structures, processes, and people.’

‘For leaders, it’s imperative to shape the behaviors that impact the individual and group performance of an organization.’

‘The team leader needs to offer well-defined strategies, plan work meticulously, monitor team processes scrupulously, provide detailed feedback, and recalibrate actions and roles when need be.’

‘Team leaders become more effective when they are able to establish multiple relationships with target actors that are instrumental in generating team members’ motivation.’

‘Interestingly, achieving or surpassing team goals can give rise to over-confidence, and with it comes the risk of complacency and a drop in motivation.’

‘It’s important for a coach to be thoroughly familiar with all the roles in the organization in order to make collaboration easier and to get a different perspective of the team and the work being done.’

‘To trigger the drive to improve, a precondition is a culture of learning, sacrifice, and constant practice.’

‘What lies at the heart of motivational team coaching is the leader’s ability to enhance the cooperative aspect of social interdependence among team members.’

‘The greater the social interdependence in the group, the more positive influences there will be.’

‘The capacity to perceive and acquire the information needed to run the team also depends on the quantity and quality of the interactions between the coach and the athletes.’

‘Group norms are vital because they enhance team cohesion and improve performance.’
