Project Management Coaches - Using the GROW Model for Teams (3)

W - Establish the Will

Once the goal has been set, the current reality examined and the options explored, the team members have a fairly good view of how they can achieve their goals. Project management coaches should ask pointed questions such as "Where do you go from here?" "What obstacles could you encounter that would stop your forward progression?" "How will you overcome those obstacles?" "How likely will this choice be to succeed?" and "What else will you do?" This step is also known as the wrap up. It is the time to make a call to action and get started.

Some people may have difficulty in taking the first step towards the goal. They may do fine setting the goal and carving a path, but when it comes time to take action they may stall. Some people are more comfortable staying where they are instead of making the effort required to achieve their goal. This is where project management coaches can give gentle prodding and provide motivation. Again, it is not the coach's place to suggest, but to guide.

The purpose of the GROW model is also the reason that it works so well. It ensures that there is nothing at the subconscious level that will prevent the team members from achieving their goal. It ensures that there are no unconscious barriers that will hold back members and make them ambivalent about pursuing their goals, personal and well as professional. As a team, members can easily lay out a map for success.
