A leadership team is rarely as united as it thinks.
Coaching for a leadership team that wants to make better decisions together, deal with disagreements at the table and take the strategy into the organisation so that it is understood the same way. In the Helsinki region, at your premises or remotely.
Usually when every member does their job well, but the decisions made together don't move forward.
An issue is discussed, everyone nods, and a month later it is back on the agenda. Often the reason is that everyone understood the decision in their own way.
In the meeting everyone agrees, and the objections are only heard over coffee. We practise bringing disagreement out where the decision is made.
Staff hear as many versions of the strategy as there are members on the leadership team, because everyone tells it in their own words and stresses different things.
New members or a new CEO have joined the leadership team. The shared way of working has to be built again.
A crisis or redundancy negotiations speed things up. Under pressure the leadership team starts deciding by reflex and the old way.
How the work is done
I start by interviewing each member for an hour. In addition, the leadership team and a sample of staff take a priority test where everyone writes down the three things they think matter most in the company right now. The answers show how much the leadership team's and the staff's answers have in common.
From the interviews I hear how this leadership team thinks. Who needs the big picture first and who needs the details? Who moves towards opportunities and who away from risks? What criteria does each person use to judge options? That becomes the leadership team's thinking map.
Then we practise using your own strategy and the decisions and disputes that are on the table right now. If you like, I also sit in on a few ordinary leadership team meetings.

The priority test is done at the start and at the end, for both the leadership team and the organisation. The result is a single number: how many of the answers are shared. Alongside it we ask whether people understand the leadership's messages and whether disagreements are dealt with openly.
If the assessment doesn't give you a usable direction, you don't pay for it.
It's not only that Ilkka is in the world's top five among experts and trainers of the mind. It's how his very broad, systemic approach gets significant results with serious business decision-makers who have already tried every possible coaching and leadership model. (Translated from Finnish.)
