Most teams don’t fail because of execution.

They fail before the work even begins.

In this episode of Teams Unleashed, I sit down with Peter Hård to talk about what it really takes to set a team up for success.

Peter brings over two decades of global experience working with executive and specialist teams across 50+ countries—and was part of the work with the ICF that helped shape the Team Coaching Core Competencies.

We get into:

• The difference between team building, team development, and team coaching
• Why so many teams rush into action—and pay for it later
• What “setting up for success” actually looks like in practice
• Why patience, not speed, is critical in the early stages

If you’re coaching teams or leading them, this conversation will challenge how you think about getting started.

What happens when two organizations are forced to work together—but don’t trust each other, don’t communicate effectively, and operate as separate teams?

In this episode of Teams Unleashed, host Spencer Horn sits down with team performance expert Pollyanna Lenkic to unpack a powerful real-world case study of transformation.

Faced with cultural tension, unclear roles, and an entrenched “us vs. them” dynamic, this team struggled with low productivity, poor morale, and slow growth. But through a systemic team coaching approach using the Team Diagnostic™, everything changed.

Pollyanna shares how the shift from individuals to one unified team system unlocked hidden capability—and how two key strengths drove dramatic results:

• Accountability (+69%)
• Constructive Interaction (+60%)

The impact?

• 47% increase in productivity
• 39% increase in positivity
• Significant ROI, including $30,000 annual savings and faster decision-making

This episode is a must-listen for coaches who want to:

• Move beyond individual coaching to system-level impact
• Understand how to transform team culture—not just behavior
• Learn how measurable results drive credibility and client value

If you're serious about becoming a high-impact team coach, this conversation will show you what’s possible.
