A strong senior leadership team propels the organization’s vision and strategy forward. Yet too often their considerable collective potential goes untapped.
A high-performing executive team must be able to implement new strategies and navigate challenges together to drive lasting performance amidst rapidly changing circumstances. Additionally, our research has shown that high-performing executive teams are characterized by 3 critical threads including a strong strategic focus, collective approach, and effective team interaction. To build these skills and improve in these areas, senior leadership team development and executive team building can help.
An executive team, typically composed of senior-level leaders responsible for a variety of critical business functions, crafts an organization’s business strategy, shapes its culture, and drives performance. Effective and successful senior leadership teams work together to break down organizational silos, implement new strategies, and navigate challenges.
When our Organizational Leadership experts partner with you for executive leadership team development, we can help assess the current effectiveness of your senior leadership team, and take a deep dive into what your culture and strategy are, versus where they need to be. Then, we engage in research-based executive team-building and development to help your organization’s senior leaders collectively build alignment and cohesion. With over 5 decades of experience coaching and developing C-suite executives, we understand the unique challenges that senior leaders face, and we know what it takes to be a top-performing senior executive team: strategic focus, a collective approach, and effective team interactions.
If your organization doesn’t have a clear connection between its business strategy and leadership strategy, has work happening in silos, a lack of collaboration, a culture that lacks psychological safety, and negative business outcomes, it is likely a sign that your senior executive team would benefit from leadership team development.
