Leadership Teams

Executive Leadership Teams

Leadership teams are typically comprised of hardworking, talented individuals who are used to minding their own part of the business. But what if they understood the collective influence they could have if they worked together? What if they spent time getting to know one another so they felt more comfortable working together? What would be possible?

Building A Solid Foundation

The path to world-class begins with your Executive Team. Executive Teams who are aligned and committed to the organization's higher purpose, provide the foundation upon which world-class organizations are built. With a solid foundation, you’ll do things smarter, work better together and your Executive Team will be better equipped to lead the organization.

FIRST™ will clarify your Executive Team’s purpose, establish operating agreements and address practical issues around meeting and workstyle preferences. It is carefully orchestrated to engage, focus and energize your Executive Team.

Outcomes of our FIRST^™Retreat

Increased Trust

As the team members come to know and care about each other as people, the team begins to trust each other - becoming more transparent and forthcoming.

Smarter Decision-Making

Executive Teams who like and respect one another consult with each other more frequently and aren't afraid to challenge each other in a healthy manner.

Better Results

Executive Teams who are strongly connected to the organization's higher purpose, and who share a common vision, are more likely to achieve it.

The FIRST^™Retreat Process | How It Works

1. FIRST^™Starts with the Outcomes You Want to Achieve

Understanding your objectives for the offsite helps up to craft the right experience for your team. In this stage, we listen to where you are at, where you want to be and what you'd like to achieve.

2. Then, We Speak to the Leaders on Your Team

Since "People support what they help to create" and because "The genius is in the room", we invest time connecting with your leaders in advance of the offsite to learn about their roles & responsibilities, while crowdsourcing their good ideas related to the retreat.

3. Informed by What We Learned,
We Create the Retreat Agenda

Strengthening relationships, creating a shared team vision, generating a code of conduct and clarifying leader and team member expectations are common items found on the FIRST™ agenda.

4. We hold the Retreat

Interactive, inspirational and uplifting are words that attendees use to describe our retreats. Attendees leave the retreat with a greater sense of trust and connection having created a stronger foundation upon which the organization rests. p.s. Laughter is not always officially on the agenda, but it is not unusual to experience a few good-natured, funny, memorable moments.

5. We Ensure Adoption with Two Follow-Up Activation Sessions

The plans and ideas generated at the retreat are tracked, revisited and brought to life during two post-retreat Activation Sessions, typically scheduled 2-3 weeks apart.
