Leadership Team Alignment

A committed and aligned leadership team will generate superior results around any goal or set of objectives. It allows each team member to autonomously and creatively implement actions within their own teams, and free up time spent managing conflicting directives and misaligned incentives.

Approach to cultivate commitment

Although each Client is different and will bring unique needs and circumstances, there are critical sequences of steps to follow that best produce buy-in and commitment. Each team member needs to be heard, acknowledged, and feel they had ownership in each step of the process. This approach leverages techniques from coaching, change management, and strategic planning to bring your team along.

I help teams work through critical topics and processes:

  • Strategic Planning and Execution

  • Resource Prioritization and Allocation

  • Determining New Priorities

  • Crafting New Ways of Working

  • Solving Specific Business Problems

Collectively Set Context

  • Establish clear goals, outcomes, and agendas with Client.

  • Each team member given a forum to share their personal view on the situation, contributing factors, and impacts to their areas of responsibility.

    Outcome: Collectively agree on context, setting the foundation to discuss options and potential solutions.

Build Options

  • Brainstorm and discuss potential solutions, ensuring each team member is heard and acknowledged.

  • Determine framework for assessing value of options and collectively assign values

  • Start to prioritize options while discussing potential impacts to each team member.

    Outcome: Set of main options to consider with assigned value determined by team.

Align on Decisions

  • Align on final option / solution / idea.

  • Discuss and determine required actions and resource needs.

  • Establish roles and responsibilities within action plans, along with general timelines.

    Outcome: Aligned leadership team plan with clearly assigned duties and timelines.
