Leading an executive team can feel like a perennial challenge. Personalities, hidden agendas and the interaction between individual leaders remain paramount to team success or failure. Most leaders privately wish they could get their team to collaborate more effectively and reduce the internal friction that degrades organisation performance.
A leader needs to evaluate the team’s capabilities, interpersonal skills and motivations to effectively shape and influence the organisation’s performance.
Leadership team development programs improve performance and help:
- Improve collaboration and performance by assessing individual personalities,
team interactions and dysfunctions, and key cultural drivers of performance. - Benchmark executives and their teams to identify development opportunities.
- Design customized programs to assess executive talent.
Our approach to leadership team development:
Leadership team development programs begin by assessing the strengths and weaknesses of leaders and direct reports. We help organisations better understand how different personalities perform at their best and under pressure. Custom coaching programs are then created to help team members create realistic and measurable and performance goals.
Team Effectiveness development programmes boost internal collaboration, effectiveness and efficiency and drive organisational success. Leading an executive team can be sometimes a hard combination of “verticalized” responsibilities, different personalities and hidden agendas.
Relationships between leaders continue to be a critical factor for the success or failure of a team. In a context where organisations and leadership teams are increasingly exposed to the unpredictability of the market, most leaders want their teams to collaborate more effectively and reduce the internal friction that negatively impacts performance and organisational alignment.
In order to effectively shape and influence performance, the Leader must be able to assess the resources, competences and motivations of the team under their management.
Team Effectiveness programmes aim to maximise team and organisational performance by focusing on:
• Boosting collaboration and performance by assessing individual personalities, team interactions and dysfunctions, and key cultural drivers of performance.
• Identifying individual and team development opportunities and consolidating a structured action plan
• Fostering team development, focusing both on team members and the Leader, sometimes involving a new team governance, the adoption of new routines, practices and rules of engagement to guarantee the success of the development plan, agreed together.
Our approach to developing Leadership Teams: Team Effectiveness programmes begin by discussing vision and purpose, governance rules and then identifying team’s characteristics (strengths and areas for development, profile’s complementarity, others), routines and working methods. Through a customed systemic team coaching process, realistic and measurable goals are set to maximise performance, monitoring closely team's development.
