Leadership Team Coaching

Coach the team, not just the leader.

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

Built around your team

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

Coaching for one leader?
