Leadership Team Coaching for Executive Teams | PointerWise

Leadership Team Coaching

Coach the team, not just the leader.

Terri Stivarius, leadership team coach

Leadership team coaching for intact executive teams

Most leadership development happens one leader at a time. But results come from how the team works together: how it debates, decides, delegates and holds itself accountable. Leadership Team Coaching is a year-long program for an intact leadership team, combining team workshops, quarterly team coaching tied to the team’s own meetings, and one-on-one coaching for each leader.

From assessments to a team map: Working Genius and personality profiles combine into a team map of strengths, gaps and where work gets stuck, leading to coaching that follows the team’s real work

It starts with a team map

We begin with the Working Genius assessment by Patrick Lencioni, which shows the work each leader loves and is naturally gifted at. We layer it with personality profiles that show how each person shows up, such as DISC, Enneagram, Myers-Briggs or 16Personalities. If your team hasn’t taken one, we’ll refer you to a qualified assessment professional. Then we read the results together as a map of the whole team. What a team lacks often explains more than its strengths: who carries the work nobody else wants, where projects stall, and why the same frustrations keep coming back.

From there, the coaching follows the team’s real work, not a generic curriculum.

What the program can include

A menu of components, so each team builds the program it needs.

1

Team workshops

Working sessions on trust, healthy conflict, commitment and accountability, using The Five Dysfunctions of a Team© and Working Genius, both by Patrick Lencioni.

2

Quarterly team coaching

Coaching built around the team’s own meetings and decisions, so new habits show up where the work happens.

3

One-on-one coaching

Individual coaching for each leader on the team, tied to the team’s goals and their own.

4

Delegation and capacity

Powerful Delegation helps leaders hand off work to people, process and technology, so they can lead instead of fighting fires.

5

Listening Project

Where the team needs an honest baseline first, a Listening Project shows what leaders see and what’s in the way.

6

Offsites

A leadership retreat to set priorities, reset team commitments and plan the year ahead.

Is it right for your team?

  • A new leadership team is forming, or a new CEO is building one
  • Acquired businesses need one leadership team, not several
  • The team is polite in meetings and has the real debates in the hallway
  • Decisions get made, then unmade
  • A few leaders carry too much, and burnout is showing
  • The company is growing faster than the team’s habits

Leadership Team Coaching FAQs

Who is Leadership Team Coaching for?

An intact leadership team: the executives who run the business together. It fits when a new team is forming or a new CEO is building one, when acquired businesses need to become one leadership team, or when the real debates happen in the hallway instead of the meeting.

How long is the program?

Leadership Team Coaching is a year-long program, built from the components your team needs.

What can the program include?

Team workshops using The Five Dysfunctions of a Team© and Working Genius, both by Patrick Lencioni; quarterly team coaching tied to your team’s own meetings; one-on-one coaching for each leader; Powerful Delegation; a Listening Project when the team needs an honest baseline first; and leadership offsites.

How does it start?

With a team map. Each leader takes the Working Genius assessment, which we layer with personality profiles such as DISC, Enneagram, Myers-Briggs or 16Personalities. Then we read the results together as a map of the whole team.

Can it be done virtually?

Yes. Workshops and coaching can be virtual or in person, and we travel to teams across the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Bahamas.

What does it cost?

Annual programs are priced as a bundle once we’ve agreed on the components, so the first step is a conversation about where your team is and where it needs to go.

How is this different from individual or group coaching?

Leadership Team Coaching works with one intact team and each leader on it. Individual Executive Coaching focuses on one leader. Group Coaching brings together leaders from across your organization who may not work together day to day.
