What this is
A self-paced course on the specific work of making a senior leadership team function as a team rather than a set of individually capable executives. It covers six stages: what makes executive teams different, composition and roles, how decisions actually get made, conflict and trust, operating rhythm, and measuring and renewing the team.The premise is that most executive teams are groups of strong performers who never became a team, and that the fix is structural rather than motivational.
It does not promise team performance outcomes, and it is not executive coaching. It covers the specific work of making a senior team function as a team, which you apply with your own colleagues.
What you will be able to do
- Explain why executive teams struggle
