Leadership as a Team Sport
Recent research from Harvard Business Review (Link in first comment) reveals that only about 31% of C-suite executives truly see each other as a team. Many executive groups struggle because their goals aren't fully aligned and shared accountability is missing, which slows down decision-making and execution. It's a common but often overlooked challenge in leadership.
Team coaching can really help - if executives are open to being coached by someone not above them in the organizational hierarchy, which is usually true for C-suite teams. I've seen this work well with leaders like Alexander Burst, Uta Fischer, Frank Berrsche, Tobias Radke, and Marcus Vidal. When teams have a clear shared purpose and embrace coaching, their collaboration and results improve noticeably. The real question is whether the team allows it, because that openness often makes all the difference.
