Coaching staffs work best together when all of their egos are left at home.
Grateful,
Clear lines of responsibility and mutual respect among the coaching staff to accept the decisions that are made. A strong leader and communicator as manager!

I agree, clearly defined jobs! Good communication! Strong Leadership!! Mutual Respect!!
It starts with a head coach that wants and has a staff. Our HS has one coach( an assistant FB coach). Thats not going to work against good competition is it TRHIT?
Helping a staff develop as a unit involves the following:
1. Each coach should have a defined roll.
2. Each coach should be allowed to and given opportunities to excell in that roll.
3. Coaches must trust each other.
4. The head coach MUST communicate and have final say in the way that things are ultimately done. He should listen to and carefully consider the views of assistants but final decisions should be simple and clearly communicated from the head coach.
5. The staff and system need to be consistent but consistent but not stagnent. (Try new ideas and see how they work!)

Honesty - with your coaches and your players.
Without it - you are just a bum - regardless of your record.

Be able to listen to one another. As a head coach dont think success is about everything you do. Also Loyalty is important.
Know your role and accept it unconditionally.
Loyalty.
Support one another.
Be on the same page on instruction and communication with the players parents and each other.
Send the same message to the players and parents and always be honest with each other.
Never ask your players for anything that you as a staff are not willing to give.

All great answers. For me, I think our staffs have worked well because we complimented each other well. For example, I am very intense...but there are times when my bench coach (who is much more relaxed) helps me see things during the game that I might miss because I am so "locked in". The best staffs have the respect and mutual admiration for each other, and have a head coach who shows the assistants how much he appreciates all they do to help the program.
Alot of great responses. I think that you have to trust each other as coaches. Our head coach has to trust my judgement in situations as a pitching coach and the same vice versa. We all have a great passion for the game and passion to make our players better. The main thing is that we all have the same goals as coaches no matter what are personality or philosophical differences are.
