IGNITE Your Leadership Team’s Full Potential—Teaming at the Top

Leadership team meetings should be where the most important work happens—the place where strategy comes to life, where tough decisions are made, and where leaders align on how to move the business forward.

But too often, these meetings feel like a grind—discussions stay surface-level, decisions do not stick, or the team is not fully clicking as it should.

If this sounds familiar, it raises important questions: Is it the meeting? Is it the team? Or is it teaming at the top?

The Leadership Team Challenge

Most executive teams are made up of high-performing individual leaders—but that does not automatically translate into a high-performing team.

Gartner’s research confirms what we see every day: High-performing executive teams drive better business results. In fact, Gartner found that organizations with highly effective leadership teams are 2.3 times more likely to outperform their peers on financial performance and significantly more likely to navigate disruption successfully.

Yet, many executive teams fall short—not because they lack talent, but because they have not invested in how they work together.

Consider these key questions:

🔹 Meetings & Decision-Making

Are meetings focused on the most important issues?
Do meetings result in clear decisions and actions?
Are team discussions driving real progress?

🔹 Team Dynamics & Trust

Can the team engage in honest, productive debate?
Is there a foundation of trust and mutual respect?
Do team members hold each other accountable?

🔹 Team Composition & Impact

Are the right people at the table?
Is the team truly aligned on what success looks like?
Is the team delivering on its commitments to the organization?

If any of these questions create hesitation, it is worth taking a deeper look at how the team is functioning.

The Solution: IGNITE Executive Team Excellence

Achieving high performance in leadership teams requires mastering both the WHAT and the HOW.

What to Focus On : Three interconnected dimensions:

✅ The Power of ME (Individual Leadership)

Elevating leaders beyond functional expertise to true executive leadership.
Strengthening self-awareness, transparency, and leadership presence.

✅ The Power of WE (Team Effectiveness)

Eliminating dysfunctional team behaviors.
Building trust, accountability, and alignment.

✅ The Power of WORK (Business Impact)

Clarifying the team’s shared purpose and priorities.
Ensuring critical decisions drive meaningful action.

How Real Change Happens

Here’s how IGNITE works: Team Coaching

🔥 It starts with the Team Leader. We coach the Team Leader along the way—because the effectiveness of the team starts at the top.

🔥 We use data. We conduct assessments to diagnose the leaders, the team, and the work so we can focus on what is important in the ME, WE, and WORK.

🔥 We coach in real time. Instead of theoretical exercises or off-sites, we work inside actual leadership team meetings, helping team members and the team strengthen its teaming dynamics.

🔥 We go deeper when needed. Sometimes, leadership teams require additional focus, which is why we offer targeted workshops, such as:

Discovering the Common Purpose of the Leadership Team
Effective Decision Making
Meeting Mastery
Creating Leadership Team Standards

🔥 We measure progress and results. We obtain data at the beginning, middle, and end of the engagement.

Are You Ready to Ignite Your Leadership Team’s Full Potential?

The most successful leadership teams do not just work together—they commit to working differently to achieve better results.

But here’s the truth: None of this works unless the Team Leader is ALL IN.

The leader sets the conditions for success. A team’s full potential is only unlocked when leadership commits—not just to strategy and execution, but to strengthening how they lead, collaborate, and drive results together.

So, is your team ready? Because real change starts at the top.

At Catapult Executive Consulting, we know what it takes to transform leadership teams—and we are ready to help.

Let’s IGNITE your leadership team’s full potential.
