Groups and Teams Coaching
Human beings are not immune to the second law of thermodynamics, which states that any system in isolation will experience entropy...it will become chaotic. A group or team is an organism, and in order to function at maximum efficiency, all organ systems that comprise the organism must work collectively, cohesively, and in harmony.
An expert in group dynamics, Dr. Loper's group and team coaching focuses on:
​
-
Assessment of entropy
-
Identification and diagnosis of the dynamics that are perpetuating entropy
-
Actionable, evidenced-based interventions to dissolve dysfunctional team dynamics, restore centropy, and maintain team cohesion, unity, and harmony, for consistent, sustained performance
