Our Approach
Each team is unique and operates within a specific business context. Our process attends to the expectations of delivery and external factors that influence the success of the team.
Our approach focuses on total performance— challenging teams to be the best they can be on four dimensions: What, How, Who, Why.
We have an extensive database of top-team data, allowing for external benchmarking of your team on all the critical components of executive team effectiveness (design, focus, decision-making, getting results, dynamics).
We leverage this data
to provide thought leadership on what makes the difference between low- and high-performing teams and how teams can go from good to great.
Executive team effectiveness cannot be accomplished in one offsite. Our approach combines short, structured, regular touchpoints that enable meaningful change and embed team accountability.
Our approach is a blend of virtual and in-person work, enabling global reach with maximum impact.

Characteristics of high performing teams
Most discussions about executive team effectiveness focus on the ideal mix of personal characteristics or stages of team development that need to be accomplished before the team can be classified as high performing.
We conducted an analysis of over 200 senior teams, predominantly from companies with annual revenues of over $2 billion, to establish what really needs to happen, in order to create high performing teams.
Our Methodology
We compared and contrasted high-performing and low-performing executive teams, analyzing what they did, how often they did it, and which indicators of organizational performance were impacted as a result.
Key Insights
In our research, the following six success factors were found to differentiate
high-performing teams (HPTs) from low-performing teams (LPTs):
Six Key High Performance Factors
1. Agile Design – HPTs align their membership design to the goals of the organization.
2. Disciplined Focus – HPTs focus on the most critical priorities and deal with the right
issues at the right level.
3. Efficient-Decision Making – HPTs balance the need for speed and quality and are clear on what decisions should be delegated.
4. Connectivity and Balance – HPTs are connected with the internal and external needs of the organization. They leverage organizational strengths while also driving innovation.
5. Collaborative Culture – HPTs pay less attention to hierarchy and are willing to lean into conflict.
6. Delivery of Results – HPTs are those who ultimately deliver results.
What are the key tensions?
We examined what differentiated the top 25% of the high-performing teams from the rest. We found that the highest-performing senior teams were able to skillfully navigate three key tensions:
1. Risk versus Reward – High-performing teams excel at taking risks that pay off in the long term while also delivering results that reward in the short term.
2. External versus Internal – High-performing teams look outward as well as inward, even using external drivers as a springboard for internal transformation.
3. Top-Down versus Bottom-Up – High-performing teams successfully manage the tension between driving innovation from the top and creating frameworks to enable those closest to the customer to innovate.
The Results
10% – Greater market share achieved by the top 25% of performing teams, who delivered a 10.6% greater sales and revenue growth, and a 9.5% – Improvement in employee engagement!
