Top Team Development

Turn leadership groups into aligned, high-performing teams that drive enterprise-wide impact and coherence.

Overview

A high-performing top team not a single charismatic figure drives long-term organizational success in today’s flatter hierarchies, while misaligned development efforts fuel rival agendas and turf battles that destroy value . Only 20% of executives in a McKinsey survey saw their teams as high-performing, underscoring the cost of poor collaboration at the top .

InspireOne applies extensive experience and a patented interaction process to build supportive, inclusive, and collaborative leadership behaviors that align the top team for organizational coherence and focus . The program shifts leaders from defending individual positions to forging shared understanding and outcomes—a clear move from “I” to “we” thinking that maximizes results .

Team Interaction Process is a highly validated application model based on scientific observation of more than 100 teams over a period of several months. The process focuses on the following objectives:

Fundamental behavior change and improved problem-solving for individuals and the team.
Top team development program using real, powerful and relevant business scenarios.
A new way of operating and team processes, which can be cascaded through business.
Key behaviors which are crucial for building a strong culture of collaboration.
