Unlock High-Performance Teamwork
Build a foundation of trust, accountability, and shared leadership habits that elevate your executive team and business units to new levels of success.
Building a truly aligned executive team.
Many executive teams struggle to move beyond a group of talented individuals into a cohesive, high-performing unit. Without trust, open communication, and accountability, decision-making slows, conflicts go unaddressed, and team members hesitate to challenge one another—all of which stalls business progress.
The Team Development Process
Our Team Development programs are fully tailored to your culture, values, and business priorities. Each program is designed to strengthen collaboration, accountability, and leadership skills across the team while driving measurable impact for your organization.
Team Assessment
Executive team members complete a comprehensive Team Assessment to establish a clear picture of the team’s current strengths and opportunities for growth.
Establish Operating Agreements
In a focused half-day offsite session, your entire executive team will come together to create clear Operating Agreements—defining the behaviors and principles that build trust, accountability, and a strong foundation for success.
Leadership 360 & Executive Coaching
Each executive completes a Leadership 360 Assessment to gain deep insights into their strengths and development areas. This is paired with three (3) Executive Coaching Sessions, turning insights into a personalized action plan that drives measurable leadership growth and enhances team performance.
Team Sessions
Team Sessions are designed to assess team effectiveness against the new Operating Agreements, practice skills to enhance team trust, accountability, and performance, and define tactical actions for the coming quarter.
Team Coaching
Integrate learning & insights from the Team Sessions into your leadership team’s everyday practice. Your Team Coach participates in your Leadership Team meetings to observe team behaviors in real-time, identifying areas for improvement, and providing real-time guidance to strengthen collaboration, accountability, and team effectiveness.
