In Life Science organizations, highly educated experts often work together in multi-disciplinary teams. Team members come from different parts of the world and have different cultural backgrounds. Working in virtual teams is common and budget for face-to-face meetings is limited.
Communication is often not optimal, decision-making unclear and there is often mutual misunderstanding. In short, there is hassle in the team. This leads to frustration, a negative energy flow and slows down progress. People often look at the manager to solve it, however they are naturally more focused on scientific and technical discussions and reaching targets and objectives. Occasionally, an off-site meeting or team building session takes place which is fun, but does not really help on the long term.
Complex teams with a lot of hassle benefit from support by an independent teamcoach with experience in the Lifescience industry. Nobody wants a group of young consultants who don’t know your business well. In a series of teamcoach sessions, the entire team invests time and effort to permanently strengthen communication and collaboration. This leads to positive energy flows, motivated employees and the team will deliver better results.
