"Evaluate Your Organization's Coaching Climate"
(For individual use only, not to be
reproduced or used in any way without permission)
About the Quiz.
The history of a group or team and the member's view of how
things are, or should be, will effect the level and type of coaching that occurs. The sum
of these views we call the "Coaching Climate." It is valuable to see how
"warm" or "cold" the climate is for coaching in your team.
Note: The following quiz is a quick, yet excellent,
team-building activity. Have each member of your team complete a printout of the quiz. Ask
one person to collect the completed surveys and tabulate the results.
Schedule a team meeting for a least one hour to discuss the
implications of the responses and the coaching climate that exists within your team. The
more important question and needed commitment is: "What would we like these answers
to be and how are we going to get there if a gap occurs between our present action and
desired future state?"
Note that many times such meetings or interactions will be more
constructive and will lead to more positive changes if they are guided by an outside
facilitator.
Coaching Climate Quiz
For the team meeting:
- Put each team member's definition of coaching together on one
sheet of paper.
- Summarize the results in a series of fourteen graphs. This will
highlight any agreement or disagreement on how members perceive the coaching climate in
the team.
Remember, we are available to help administer this quiz and other
assessment instruments, and to coach you in coaching your team.
