Senior Team Effectiveness

RHR International Brings Proven Insights, Processes and Techniques Focused on the Group to Create Stronger, More Aligned, More Effective Executive Management Teams.

ACCELERATING SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM PERFORMANCE AROUND "ALIGNMENT"  Great CEO performance is directly linked to great senior leadership team performance. That is why we start at the top in our Senior Team practice. We focus on understanding the CEO’s legacy, impact and leadership style — the unique DNA of each Chief Executive Officer — in order to begin the process of developing and strengthening team “alignment.”

Working closely with the CEO, RHR integrates two other fundamental factors into the Senior Team model. One is business strategy and goals, which require clarity, agreement and feasibility. The other is the operating landscape, defined as threats and opportunities in the external environment.

THE RHR PROCESS: DEFINE, BUILD AND OPTIMIZE  RHR's consultants begin by defining the architecture of acceleration. We conduct interviews, assessments and analysis to engage the senior executive, determine the skills needed within the team to execute the organization’s business strategy, and analyze the current structure of the senior leadership group. We assess the gap between what the CEO wants the group to be vs. what the organization needs. The right architecture creates a shared understanding of the current state, as well as changes needed — critical tasks, along with team configuration, purpose, accountabilities and decision-making parameters — to get to the next level.



With the architecture in place, the next step is building the process that determines what success looks like and how the team will pursue it. In this phase, we guide the setting of team goals and norms of behavior, including conflict management, and establish performance metrics. The third phase of RHR’s Senior Team Effectiveness program is optimizing high performance. This is where the team gets down to accelerating results. Improved meeting flow, increased collaboration, faster decision-making and enhanced feedback processes all represent outcomes that contribute to the achievement of team goals.

DELIVERING ALIGNMENT, IMPACT AND OUTCOMES  RHR's Senior Team Effectiveness consultants work with the CEO and the group to help create an identity as a team, increase pace of change and align performance with reward. The result: a cohesive group of senior executives, strongly aligned with the CEO’s agenda and focused on achieving team performance.
