EXECUTIVE TEAM PERFORMANCE

A truly cohesive executive team leads with a unified voice and shared vision.

Business performance and culture are directly impacted by alignment of the executive team. The tone at the top sends the strongest messages to the organization about what is acceptable. When the team commits to shared values, a vision, and set of priorities, the company is positioned for success.

The Geffner Group’s senior advisors and consultants have worked with hundreds of executive leadership teams and know what it takes to build and achieve high-performing and high-trust teams.

We partner with you to:

  • Define the unique contribution of your executive team

  • Develop a shared view of mission, strategic focus, and set of priorities

  • Improve team communication, conflict management, and decision-making

  • Build a foundation of trust

A Shared Direction

What makes great executive teams?

Trust. Challenge. Collaboration. These words are easy to say yet much harder to achieve. Great leadership teams are aligned around a shared view of the future, culture, and priorities. They have learned to openly challenge one another, hold diverse perspectives, and work together across formal boundaries and barriers.

The path to becoming a high-performance, high-trust team requires a thought partner who has not only sat in the chair but understands the practices that lead to great “teaming.” 

We will work with you to have the tough conversations, determine what is holding your team back, and clarify the “true north” that serves to unite the organization.

Executive Coaching

Why do executives have a coach?

The workplace has fundamentally changed. Leaders need to refresh their thinking, reflect, and continue to adapt.

This is not a solo journey. An executive coach focuses on your continued success. The aim is to personalize learning to your specific role and context. Your coach will challenge assumptions, help you think through new perspectives, and provide a safe space to test new ideas and solutions. 

Our executive coaches are highly experienced leaders of complex organizations. They understand the pressures and competing demands facing executives. 

Executive Retreats

Why take time away from the office?

In today’s fast-changing and crisis-filled environment, executive leaders face constant, time-sensitive demands and endless tasks. This makes it difficult to allocate time to reflect, discuss, and resolve ongoing issues. Important conversations are often postponed with the hope that someday there will be time.

Executive team alignment and performance require deliberate investment. Without it, critical challenges can fester and cascade throughout the organization. High-performing leadership teams carve out time for continuous improvement and critical conversations.

Our experienced consultants will collaborate with you to design a retreat that delivers tangible results.
