A management group is not automatically a team. We work with the conditions that decide whether the leadership team delivers: trust, alignment, accountability, decision power, execution and performance.

The six areas we work through

  1. 1TrustCan you say the difficult thing to each other without it costing the relationship?
  2. 2AlignmentDo you agree on what matters most right now and in what order?
  3. 3AccountabilityDo you hold each other to agreements, also when the person is a peer?
  4. 4Decision powerAre decisions made, or postponed to the next meeting?
  5. 5ExecutionDo decisions reach the organisation, or stop in the meeting room?
  6. 6PerformanceCan you see in results and behaviour that the leadership team makes a difference?

A leadership team's own behaviour sets the standard for the rest of the organisation. That is why we work early with Shared High Team Standards (SHTS) — concrete standards for preparation, disagreement, decisions and follow-up that the team can hold both itself and each other accountable for.

From individual readiness to collective leadership performance

A high-performing leadership team starts with the individual leader. Inner Readiness is the capacity to mobilise your resources when the situation demands it. Through Success Analysis, each leader can identify their High Performance Pattern (HPP) – the recurring pattern of behaviour and action that characterises them when they perform at their best.

Within the leadership team, individual strengths and success patterns are translated into Shared High Team Standards (SHTS): the behaviours the team agrees to hold itself and one another accountable for. Through practice, 3H and mutual accountability, these standards can gradually become what the team actually does – including under pressure.

Typical signs that there is work to do

  • Decisions are reopened outside the meeting.
  • Disagreement becomes politeness in the room and criticism elsewhere.
  • Everyone agrees on the strategy, but departments pull in different directions.
  • Leaders compete for resources instead of prioritising together.

How we work with the team

We start with conversations with each leader so we understand the picture from the inside. We then work with the group in a seminar format, combining structured discussion with assignments where the group has to deliver under time pressure. The patterns often become visible in the tasks, not in talking about the tasks.

The process does not end with minutes from a meeting. We agree a few concrete changes in how the group meets, decides and follows up — and return to see whether they hold.

Leadership team development at Cronquist Consult focuses on the leadership team as a collective and on each leader's contribution to the team. The process is tailored to your situation and can be combined with individual executive coaching or with work on strategy and execution.
