Coach—Co-Achieving

Research and development by Michael Gourley of Human Synergistics New Zealand.

An exercise in leadership, cooperation, and achievement.

Designed to teach leaders how to apply Achievement-oriented thinking to coach others effectively and improve performance, Coach — Co-Achieving is a unique team exercise that highlights the assumptions, values, beliefs, and attitudes underlying the motivation of individuals and teams. Participants are challenged to identify the most appropriate approaches to coaching, goals, and actions for turning around a team that currently is not performing well. The sports setting used in Coach allows participants to question the assumptions and values of others in a non-threatening way and facilitates open, honest discussion due to the high level of tolerance regarding diverse opinions about sports. Ultimately, participants learn how to identify and apply Achievement thinking to become more effective managers.
