In this interview, we talk with Julian Humphreys about his article, Let Down ~ Coaching teams through disappointment.

Disappointment is often a visceral experience that can feel like the wind has been taken out of your sails, and it can have a long-term impact on the motivation, trust and commitment of a team. Team coaches have an important role to play in helping teams process their disappointment so it doesn't get in the way of setting and meeting future expectations that propel the team forward.

Team coaches need to check in with teams about the attributions they make, so the causes of behaviors that are experienced as disappointing can be more accurately understood and addressed.

Team coaches need to be brought in early so disappointment can be addressed proactively, before it becomes chronic. Team coaches also need to be aware of their own feelings of disappointment, understanding the expectations that are put on them, and that they put on themselves.

To avoid unnecessary disappointment, coaches need to ask themselves
the same questions team members do – are the expectations explicit, are they reasonable, and are the attributions made when expectations are not met accurate enough?
