Get your leadership team aligned and clear on their collective purpose
The Why
A high-performing senior leadership team doesn’t happen by accident. When a business is busy growing or changing, the leadership team is often the last thing anyone stops to examine, everyone’s too busy executing. But misalignment at the top is expensive. It creates confusion, duplication, and the kind of friction that slows everything else down.
Leading Together is designed to give your leadership team the space, structure, and support to get genuinely aligned on what the leadership team is for, how you work together, and what each leader is accountable for.
The result is a team that makes faster decisions, communicates more clearly, and leads the business with one voice.
The Leading Together Project
We start by wearing our “consultant” hats, getting under the skin of your business. We explore your strategy, your challenges and what is driving the need for leadership development coaching.
We then devise a bespoke 6-month SLT development programme helping leaders communicate better, collaborate and align on priorities, driving personal and collective responsibility for growth and culture.
Typical projects include one-to-one strengths profiling and coaching, a Leading Together event to explore the collective mission, team effectiveness and the team’s collective strengths. Finally, we provide a summary of next steps, key risks to momentum and future development recommendations.
By understanding how the brain works, we can help you create impactful behavioural change that will create positive outcomes, whether for you individually or for you and your team.
Leading Together - Client Case Study
The Brief
The leader wanted their SLT group to come together, collaborate, support each other, take accountability for both their own areas and their overall collective strategy and direction.
They were stretched, overworked and working in silos. Leaders carried their own pressures alone, with little insight into what their colleagues faced.
The Day
We started with psychological safety. In a calm, distraction-free setting, leaders spoke openly about workload and pressure. Then we mapped each person’s strengths, so everyone could see what their colleagues brought to the team.
“I felt it was a safe space to talk openly and enjoyed the vulnerability expressed by all team members.”
The Outcome
Trust. Leaders realised their struggles were shared. “I am not alone” became “we have the foundations of a great team.”
A shared vision. The team created a collective vision, energised and excited for a direction they owned together, with a new set of collective goals and objectives.
Stronger Together. Strengths are now mapped across the group, so everyone knows who leads in which areas and how they cover every leadership requirement together.
A clear plan for momentum. A follow-up session was in the diaries with a cadence of reviews planned; preparation had already started.
The leader left believing the team could now drive change themselves, “with me alongside them, as opposed to me dragging them along.”
Leading Together gives senior teams the safety to be honest, the clarity to see each other’s strengths and the commitment to act as one.
