Acting as One Leadership Team
Team Alignment to Improve How We Operate
Our tech client's global leadership team was experiencing conflict and was not working well together. The CEO wanted the team to take more ownership but felt the team was coming to him for most decisions. They leveraged our Team Alignment Workshop to identify and address issues in order to improve how they operate.
"This was one of the best and most effective team workshops I have ever been through"

The team were aligned with their key stakeholders, but had low scores on Process and People. They did not know how to operate as a team and did not support each other well. This impacted the team's psychological safety and their overall effectiveness.
