LEADERSHIP TEAM CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT

Which executives should you keep, grow or exit?

In today’s fast-paced business environment, the performance of your executive leadership team can make or break your organisation’s success.

Our comprehensive Leadership Team Capability Assessment evaluates the performance and effectiveness of your top leaders, ensuring they are aligned, performing at their peak, and capable of driving your strategic vision forward.

HOW WE CAN HELP

Get honest, direct performance feedback and actionable advice about your executive team

We know what a high performing leadership team looks like. And after 20 years+ of consulting, we certainly have seen some dysnfunctional ones too.

Through our thorough process of assessment, interviews and observation, we gauge the individual leadership capabilities, team dynamics, decision-making processes, and strategic alignment of your executive team.

The results give CEOs – and their boards – a clear picture of how their leadership team is performing.

This helps identify who should stay, who should be developed further, and who should exit.

With our assessment, you gain a clear roadmap to strengthen your executive team, improve collaboration, and drive the results your business needs.

Empower your leadership team to perform at its highest potential with our expert insights and strategic guidance.

WHEN TO DO A LEADERSHIP TEAM CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT?

When do CEOs typically need a clear picture of how their leadership team is performing?

Whether your organisation is navigating change, facing complex challenges, or looking to elevate performance, we provide clear insights into how well your leadership team is functioning and where improvements can be made. 

Situations like this are a clear sign you need a Leadership Team Capability Assessment:

  • New CEO – a new CEO often takes the opportunity to refresh their ELT

  • Merger – post-merger or acquisition two leadership teams need to integrate

  • Transformation  when a business is undergoing restructure or pivoting strategy

  • Underperformance – ​if the business is not meeting targets, ELT performance is critical

  • Growth – when rapidly expanding, the ELT needs to scale and lead through complexity

  • Transitions – when key executives leave, it often creates gaps in leadership team effectiveness

  • Conflict – if there are signs of tension and lack of alignment, the team dynamics need action

Establish benchmark

Together we agree "what good looks like" so that we know what we are measuring leaders against. This is usually based on a mix of financial, strategic, and behavioural KPIs.

Assess leaders

Using a mix of 360° Feedback surveys, stakeholder interviews, performance metric review, and (optionally) psychometric assessments, we build a picture of each leader's strengths and weaknesses.

Review team dynamics

We observe your leaders and leadership team in action, noting their decision-making style, level of collaboration and identify areas of synergy and tension.

Identify actions

We provide clear insights and tailored recommendations for enhancing individual leadership performance and collective ELT team effectiveness.

HOW IT WORKS

Our leadership experts follow a thorough process to give CEOs and boards an honest, accurate view of the organisation’s leadership capability

  • Sponsor: we are usually commissioned by the CEO or the Board.

  • Duration: our program typically lasts between 4 to 12 weeks.

  • Format: A mix of face-to-face and online meetings.

  • Group size: we can assess just the top level executive team, or the wider management layer as well.

  • Location: we work Australia-wide.

WHY DO SOME LEADERSHIP TEAMS CLICK - AND SOME CLASH?

Strong performance needs strong leadership

THE BENEFITS

How do CEOs feel after undergoing a Capability Assessment of their Leadership Team?

After our Leadership Team Capability Assessment, a CEO will feel confident and clear about how their leaders are performing.

They’ll know exactly where the team is strong and where it needs support – who should stay, who should be developed further, and who should exit.

This clarity allows the CEO to make smart, timely decisions and tackle issues head-on.

With the right team in place, they’ll feel a sense of relief and renewed focus, knowing they have the leadership to guide the business through challenges and towards success.

The short-term investment in assessing the leadership team pays big dividends in long-term organisational performance.
