Want a GREAT Leadership Team?
Like every high-performing team, you need a coach.
Why a Team Coach?
Sports teams practice 98% of the time and perform 2% of the time. Executive teams perform 99.xx% of the time and leave almost no time for practice. Yet, everyone expects VERY high performance from the team.
See the disconnect?
However, what you have that sports don’t is the reality that you are performing ALL the time. You don’t want to spend an enormous amount of time practicing doing the work because then the work never gets done! What you need is someone to help you stop for a brief moment, look at performance something recent, examine the results, examine the process to get the results and simply answer the question, “Is that what I/we want?” The coach can help reinforce what is working and help make changes to what is not.
Leadership teams that are performing at a high level need someone to help them keep their edge.
Team Workouts
Most leadership teams interact constantly in areas of comfort – tactical, execution, get stuff done areas – which is great when trust is high and communication is fantastic. However, we know that is rarely the case.
Occasionally the leadership team will go on a retreat , strategic planning meeting and incorporate an hour or two of activity, calling it ‘team building’. The expectation is simply by spending time together they will come together through bonding. This is like working out once a year and expecting to be able to run a marathon at any time and set records.
Team Coaches help the group step back from the day-to-day on a regular basis to work on being a team. This happens on an individual and team level. Team Coaches are able to keep their eye on the business of being a team and help the team practice the small routines and rituals that lead to success.
There is no sports team in the world that does not have a coach. These coaches go over and over the smallest actions and routines in the practice, from conditioning to full-blown practice games. For executive teams:
- When does this ‘practice’ happen on an executive team on any regular basis?
- When do you practice communicating, practice deepening trust and so many more ‘soft skills’ that are hallmarks of a high-performing team? Answer: never.
In a group sport, the smallest routines and rituals create trust among the players. Without consistent conditioning, their performance would suffer. On your leadership team:
- How do you actively support one another?
- How are you treating your bodies and what are you putting in it?
- What brules (short for ‘bullshit rules’) does your team have that negatively impacts your performance but no one can challenge? For example, staying late means you care more (but suffer due to limited family time, time to physically work out or do other
These are just a small hand-full of leadership team challenges that one of our Team Coaches can help you solve and increase performance of individuals and the team.
Team Alignment
We use a science-backed, data-driven and validated system to diagnose your team to gain insights. Combined with our series of ‘workouts’, we align the team at a fundamental level with the direct reports of the leadership team. This ensures leadership of the organization is working toward common purpose, delivering the same message and unified. This creates trust among the people in the organization, delivers the promise of great leadership and defines the informal (and VERY real) culture of ‘how we do things around here’.
