What Is the Cost of Not Developing Your Teams?

Earlier this year, we at Coachmore had the pleasure of joining Ann Kellheim and Britt Weide from CoachMastery together with Catharina Linnet from Leapfrog in preparing an episode of the CoachMastery podcast Professional Coaching – Benefits and Value. In the episode, Catharina Linnet and Nina Wendelin join as guest speakers.

Our discussion centered around a question that is highly relevant for many organizations:

What happens when we invest in team development—and what are the consequences when we don’t?

Among the topics we explored were:

  • What professional team coaching really is.
  • The value team coaching can create for teams, leaders, and organizations.
  • How team coaches can remain grounded in their role while working in complex systems.
  • Why coaching supervision is an essential part of ensuring quality in professional coaching.

Both research and practical experience show that team coaching is a powerful way to create sustainable change. When teams develop their ability to think together, navigate complexity, and take shared responsibility, collaboration, learning, and performance all improve.

At Coachmore, we often work with organizations where the challenge is not a lack of competence, but how people collaborate, make decisions, and leverage each other’s diverse perspectives and strengths. This is where professional team coaching can make a real difference. By creating space for reflection, dialogue, and collective learning, teams strengthen their ability to navigate complexity, make better decisions, and achieve sustainable results together.

Our conversation was characterized by curiosity, warmth, and a shared belief that professional coaching creates lasting value—for people, teams, and organizations alike.
