Is Your Leadership Team Delivering Together?

A leadership team review examines how the team sets priorities, makes decisions and holds itself to account, and agrees what will change.

THE BRIEF

A team that delivers together

We help leadership teams surface the patterns that slow collective performance, then agree the priorities, decision responsibilities and accountability that will change them.

Discuss this with us
01

Shared priorities — what the team delivers together, not member by member

02

Decision responsibilities — who decides what, and when the team decides together

03

Mutual accountability — how members hold each other to their commitments

Four signs worth testing

  • Private disagreement — where does the team disagree outside the room but not in it?
  • Decisions that return — which decisions keep coming back to the chief executive?
  • Competing priorities — do members pursue their own agendas over shared ones?
  • No self-review — how does the team review its own effectiveness?

How we approach it

  • Stage 1 — Sponsor discussion: agree the purpose and scope with the sponsor
  • Stage 2 — Interviews: a confidential interview with each team member
  • Stage 3 — Review: examine priorities and decision arrangements
  • Stage 4 — Team session: a facilitated session to agree what will change

What you receive

  • Findings and agreed priorities
  • Clearer decision responsibilities
  • A 90-day action plan
OUR STANDARD

A leadership team earns trust when it can name what it will deliver together, who decides what and how members hold each other to account.
