Transforming a group of individuals into coherent teams has become the holy grail of organisational success. Coherent teams are characterised by a balanced atmosphere, shared purpose, and a seamless blend of individual strengths.
Coherent teams are the teams of tomorrow. They are not only more productive, but also the nucleus of innovation and competitive advantage.
Why you need coherent teams
They operate in a state of synergy where the heart, mind, emotions, and physical systems are in harmonious alignment. This is a tangible organisational reality achieved through genuine care, active listening, and mutual cooperation. The result is a reduction in stress and anxiety, increase of mental clarity, enhanced decision-making, and creativity. Such teams transcend the sum of their parts, achieving what is often described as being "in the zone," a phenomenon that can significantly uplift corporate work environments and models.
However, fostering this level of coherence is notoriously challenging. It requires a smart plan mixing managerial direction and autonomy, allowing for the emergence of a group dynamic that harmonises individual differences into a unified purpose. Without this, teams may default to a state of incoherence, marked by personal agendas, distrust, and reduced efficacy.
Start building your own coherent teams
The foundation of team coherence lies at the individual level; it is a reflection of personal coherence within each team member. Historically, the founders of the most successful companies possessed this inherent coherence, which continued to shape the cultures of their organisations long after their departure. This underscores the necessity of nurturing individual coherence to stimulate group coherence.
The transition from traditional, physically co-located teams to hybrid or remote, digital-first models has compounded the challenge of building such structures. The 5 C's framework—Clarity, Commitment, Creativity, Connection, and Communication—offers a structured approach to addressing these challenges, emphasising the importance of a shared vision, mutual commitment, and the facilitation of creative problem-solving within a connected and communicatively efficient team.
