Executive Team Development

Cross-organization effectiveness and strong leadership start in the executive team. Unfortunately, those reporting to the CEO often represent independent functions with competing goals; and silos begin from there.

What’s the end result?

An executive team with the ability to scale and grow! A more profitable team due to the efficiency created.

We consider open, honest, non-defensive communication or real-talk key to adaptability and coordination. All executive teams hold a shared set of assumptions known as mental models that help them make sense of their business situation. Mental models are useful, but they also dictate what can be perceived and therefore, define the complete range of leadership’s possible responses. To maximize adaptability and learning, it is imperative that executive teams question their mental models and regularly adjust them to the current environment.

Plan – Execute – Debrief – Learn

Our executive team development instills a PEDL discipline to the team’s processes. PEDL is an iterative, cyclical model that enables adaptation by systematically questioning the basic assumptions lying behind plans and decisions.

Systems orientation, team focus and adaptability. Along the way executive groups improve their capacity for group decision making, problem solving and conflict management.

“It’s not about the team. It’s about what the team does. Create a team that holds itself responsible for both process and results.”
