Executive Team
Alignment
Transforming Leadership Teams from Dysfunction to Unified Performance
Limited to 4-6 corporate clients per year
The Corporate Challenge
Your executive team is talented. Experienced. Accomplished.
So why do they:
- Waste hours in meetings reaching decisions that get revisited later?
- Operate in silos despite claiming to collaborate?
- Second-guess strategy even after alignment sessions?
- Burn out from overwork while underperforming as a collective?
- Struggle with presence, influence, and authentic leadership?
The Root Cause
Individual misalignment scales to team dysfunction.
When leaders operate from reactive patterns rather than considered judgment, they:
- Seek external validation (creating politics)
- Defer to hierarchy (suppressing innovation)
- Operate from fear (avoiding necessary risks)
- Perform instead of lead (exhausting themselves)
Executive Team Alignment solves this at the source - by helping each leader identify and shift their limiting patterns, then aligning the collective around new ways of working together.

Success Stories
(Anonymised)
Tech Scale-Up (Series B)
Challenge
6-person executive team could not agree on product strategy. Meetings ran 3+ hours with no resolution. CEO considering replacing team members.
Outcomes
- Decision-making time reduced by 60% (3-hour meetings to 70 minutes)
- Product roadmap unanimously approved within 4 weeks of team alignment
- Employee engagement scores increased 35%
- Secured Series C funding ($40M) with investors citing "exceptional leadership cohesion"
"We stopped debating and started deciding. The speed of our decisions is now a competitive advantage." CEO
Family Manufacturing Business (3rd Generation Transition)
Challenge
Father (founder) transitioning to son (new CEO). Executive team divided loyalty between old and new leadership. Strategy paralysed.
Outcomes
- Father and son realigned around shared vision (resolved 15-year tension)
- Executive team unified behind new CEO within 8 weeks
- Revenue increased 22% in following 12 months (first growth in 4 years)
- Succession plan completed smoothly
"I finally stopped trying to be my father and became myself. The team followed because I was finally leading authentically." New CEO
PE-Backed Professional Services Firm
Challenge
Post-acquisition integration failing. Two executive teams (acquirer + acquired) could not collaborate. Talent haemorrhaging.
Outcomes
- Integration conflicts resolved in 6 weeks (vs. projected 12+ months)
- Unified executive team operating as single unit by day 90
- Key talent retention: 9 of 10 critical executives stayed (vs. projected 50% loss)
- EBITDA improved 18% in following year
"This saved the deal. We have never seen acquired teams integrate this smoothly." PE Partner
Why This Approach Works
Traditional Leadership Development
Focuses on:
- Skills (communication, delegation, strategy)
- Behaviours (how to run meetings, give feedback)
- Knowledge (frameworks, best practices)
These are useful but insufficient.
Executive Team Alignment
Addresses the root:
- Patterns: What drives each leader's behaviour under pressure
- Dynamics: How individual styles interact and clash
- Systems: Protocols that sustain alignment over time
Teams that do not just perform better. They transform how they work together.

Book Team DiagnosticFrequently Asked Questions
Yes. One misaligned executive can derail team cohesion. The programme works because everyone commits to the transformation together. If you have an executive unwilling to participate, address that readiness issue before applying.
If an executive departs during Phase 1 (individual work), we can onboard a replacement at no additional cost. If departure occurs during Phase 2 (team work), we adjust team sessions accordingly. Replacements joining after programme completion can be onboarded for £7,500.
We offer a 90-day intensive option for urgent situations (£55,000). This compresses timelines but requires significantly more weekly time commitment from executives. Transformation takes time - accelerated programmes have slightly lower success rates.
Absolutely. All individual sessions are completely confidential. Team sessions address collective dynamics only, never personal details shared privately. We sign NDAs and never share client names publicly without permission.
We provide communication templates and guidance. Most clients frame this as "Executive Leadership Development" or "Strategic Alignment Initiative." You control the messaging entirely.
Phase 1: 4-6 hours per month per executive (sessions + reflection)
Phase 2: 4-6 hours per month for full team (team sessions)
Total: Approximately 25-30 hours per person over 6 months - far less than typical consulting engagements.
Yes. All sessions are conducted via video call, making this ideal for distributed teams. In-person team sessions can be arranged for an additional travel fee if preferred.
We conduct a comprehensive review at the 3-month mark (end of Phase 1). If you are unsatisfied with progress, we will either redesign the approach at no additional cost, or provide a pro-rated refund for Phase 2. However, this has never occurred with a committed team.
