Experienced facilitator-coaches can work with one or two teams simultaneously. One downside of facilitator-coaches is that they don’t contribute a lot to day-to-day development, which can lead organizations to see them as underutilized and assign them to too many teams. But then they’re not present to see and respond to team challenges. Coaches in this situation often end up as glorified meeting organizers, which isn’t a good use of their talents.
