Is an organization’s success solely dependent on its CEO? Not according to the authors of Senior Leadership Teams. In today’s rapidly changing world, the demands on top leaders are outpacing the abilities of any single individual, no matter how skilled. As a result, CEOs are increasingly relying on their senior leadership teams for support. However, many CEOs struggle with building effective leadership teams. A common issue is that senior executives often prioritize their individual roles over the team’s collective work. Without the CEO’s deliberate efforts to establish the team properly, these high-powered leaders can struggle to collaborate effectively and may even disagree on the organization’s direction.

The authors guide you through determining whether your organization needs a senior leadership team. Drawing on their research of over 100 top teams worldwide, they offer insights on how to create a clear and compelling purpose for your team, assemble the right members, provide structure and support, and enhance the skills of both your team and yourself. This timely and practical book empowers you to build and maintain a leadership team that learns together and works collaboratively to achieve your company’s goals.
