Develop Collective Leadership

Your top leadership team sets the tone for teamwork across your organisation. The tone for how people in the organisation interact with your external stakeholders, they also set the tone for how your L2 – L3 (next two levels of) leaders align and behave. 

Think about the problems that you might have in your top leadership team. 

• Talk in circles → decision making slow
• Mistrust and dislike between team members → turf wars / conflicts → need to talk about past and forward to the future 
• Hero mentality rather than team mentality → split in organisation = more important + less important people
• Not aligned on what’s important → alignment around a vision and a strategy

What helps you think differently about these problems and see them differently?

You have to understand that the Leadership Team is a complex system, it’s interconnection or intersection of relationship, they are relational and dynamic over time.

Any time that you are looking to improving your team you are building systems in place, foundational capacities that deal with the dynamic nature of their roles and the dynamic nature to continually refresh their roles.

Team Multiplier – Clarity and Teamwork

Think about the team in relation to 2 spaces

1. How they interrelate outside the organisation
2. How they interrelate and work within the inside of the organisation.

Solving 2 core dilemmas

1. Creating clarity and purpose for the organisation rather than chaos
2. Set a model for teamwork and culture innovation execution in the organisation rather than internal competition

And when your top leadership  team does these, this is delivers the benefits of teamwork as a Multiplier.

Two Key Points of Transition for Leadership Teams

1. Reactivity to Proactivity – Key point in transition for leadership teams is that because they do this work around creating clarity and are able to communicate it to those around them. Instead of being reactive to everything on the outside, their clarity makes start to perceive them as a leadership group and the whole system starts to move in the direction. On the outside the external customers, suppliers and other stakeholders will start to notice the difference.
2. Teamwork Culture delivers profitability from the way you interact with stakeholders –  And what we are aiming to get as a multiplier is creating a culture and execution around teamwork by helping team become a model of decision making, collective accountability, listening, coordinating, mutual support, healthy respect and air conflict in a positive way.
