EXECUTIVE TEAM COACHING

COACHING THAT ALIGNS YOUR EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP TEAM

Leadership’s primary job is to enhance creative capacity by developing collectively effective leadership.

Bill Adams

How well is your executive leadership team aligned with your vision? Are they in healthy conversation about their needs and expectations across the organization? Are levels of trust and accountability driving or hindering performance?

Lack of clear direction spawns lack of empowerment.

When your team is not aligned with a clear vision, it can feel like you are the only one carrying the torch – a solo flame in a darkened night.

Leadership skills are lacking among the ranks, and it may feel at times like you are the only grown-up in the room. Long-term planning suffers from focusing on the fire of the day and conflicting priorities. Key decision-making can become impaired and prolonged.

Unproductive meetings waste time with finger pointing, tabled decisions, and lack of actionable items. Poor communication and coordination begin to push delivery schedules and drive up costs.

There is an impact on customers. The bottom line suffers. Your time, focus, and strategic priorities get derailed.

Spotting the signs is much easier than figuring the way out.

The fallout of a misaligned team can cause such a spiral that it’s sometimes hard to know where to begin to unravel the knot. Complex cross-functional workflows, conflicting personalities, and cultural dysfunctions can all be at play, among other struggles.

Tough conversations within the organization are required – but often ignored or delayed for fear of conflict and confrontation.

Intentional collaborative conversations build aligned engagement.

This is not a utopian myth. It’s possible with intentional focus to develop collective leadership effectiveness across the organization, such as:

  • Engaging in tough, open, and non-judgmental conversations around real issues
  • Strengthening relationships among key leaders to improve collaboration and communication
  • Establishing mutual accountability with both short-term and long-term objectives
  • Initiating collaborative issue resolution and discovering strategic opportunities for growth and transformation

Coaching can help move your executive team to the same page.
