Leadership Team Alignment & Effectiveness
Help leadership teams agree on direction and decide, communicate and work together more effectively.
The business challenge
The leadership team is capable but not aligned. Priorities compete, friction goes unresolved, decision rights are unclear, and the organization hears different messages from different leaders.
- Competing priorities
- Unresolved friction
- Unclear decision rights
- Inconsistent communication
- Weak collective accountability
Who the engagement serves
CEOs and their executive or senior leadership teams, including newly formed or recently changed teams.
Questions we help answer
- What are we, as a leadership team, collectively responsible for?
- Which priorities do we share — and which are we competing over?
- How do we make and communicate decisions?
- How will we hold each other accountable?
Our approach
- 01
Listen
A leadership-team assessment and confidential interviews.
- 02
Align
Facilitated sessions to agree on shared direction and priorities.
- 03
Agree
A team working agreement with decision-making and accountability practices.
- 04
Follow through
Follow-up coaching and progress reviews.
Engagement scope and duration are tailored to your situation.
Potential deliverables
- Leadership-team assessment and interviews
- Facilitated alignment sessions
- Shared priorities
- Team working agreement
- Decision-making and accountability practices
- Follow-up coaching and progress reviews
Deliverables are what we produce with you. Outcomes depend on how they are put to work, which is why we agree on how progress will be reviewed from the start.
Implementation support
We follow up with the team and with individual leaders as they put the agreements into practice.
How progress is reviewed
The team reviews its agreements and priorities at agreed intervals; where useful, a repeat team assessment compares against the initial baseline.
