Executive Team Coaching

Talented Individually. Misaligned as a Team.

Most leadership teams are not underperforming because of a lack of talent. They are underperforming because talented individuals have never been developed as a collective unit. Executive team coaching builds the operating system that makes a group of strong leaders into a high-performing team.

Signs Your Team Needs This

Six Signs Your Executive Team Is Underperforming as a Unit

01

The leadership team agrees in meetings and executes in different directions

02

Senior leaders are talented individually but ineffective as a unit

03

Conflict between executives is avoided rather than resolved

04

The CEO is the only person who can make cross-functional decisions

05

Leadership transitions have created gaps in culture and accountability

06

The team has the right people but the wrong operating rhythm

What It Actually Is

What Executive Team Coaching Is, and Is Not

01

Not Individual Coaching

Executive team coaching focuses on the team as a unit, not on developing individual leaders in isolation. The goal is collective performance.

02

Not a Retreat

A single offsite does not change how a team operates. Executive team coaching is an ongoing engagement that changes the team's daily operating system.

03

Not Conflict Resolution

Conflict is a symptom. Executive team coaching addresses the structural and values gaps that produce recurring conflict.

04

A Structural Intervention

Executive team coaching builds the trust, accountability, and operating frameworks that allow a leadership team to function at its highest level consistently.

How The Work Runs

Inside the 90-Day Transformation

Alignment is not an event. The engagement is built as three 30-day phases, in order, because fixing structure before identity is why most leadership work does not hold.

Days 1 to 30

Identity and Targets

  • Every leader completes the Team Alignment Diagnostic, so the work starts from measured gaps instead of opinions.
  • The team defines one shared set of 90-day targets that each leader can state without hesitation.
  • Values are written as observable behavior, not posters. If it cannot be seen in a meeting, it does not count.

Days 31 to 60

Execution and Action Steps

  • Weekly one-on-one coaching for every seat, plus group strategy sessions for the leadership team.
  • Commitments move into TEAMS OS, where owners, dates, and follow through are tracked instead of remembered.
  • Decision rights get named, so cross functional calls stop escalating to the CEO by default.

Days 61 to 90

Momentum and Synergy

  • The operating rhythm runs without the coach in the room. That is the test.
  • The diagnostic is re-run so movement across all five dimensions is visible, not just felt.
  • The team leaves with a documented operating standard it can sustain and hand to new leaders.

Fit

Who This Is For, and Who It Is Not For

A strong fit

  • CEOs, founders, and presidents whose leadership team agrees in the room and executes differently outside it
  • Companies between roughly 50 and 500 people where every senior decision still routes through one person
  • Leadership teams heading into growth, a merger, or a leadership change and unwilling to gamble on goodwill
  • Small businesses that want one fully coached seat now and room to activate the rest of the team behind it

Not a fit

  • Teams looking for a one-day morale boost with no follow through
  • Organizations unwilling to name decision rights or hold leaders to written commitments
  • Individual leaders seeking personal career coaching with no team component

Common Questions

Executive Team Coaching: What Leaders Ask

What is executive team coaching?

Executive team coaching is a structured engagement focused on improving the collective performance of a leadership team. Unlike individual executive coaching, which develops each leader separately, executive team coaching addresses how the team functions as a unit: its trust, decision making, accountability, and operating rhythm. The goal is a leadership team that executes together, not just a collection of talented individuals.

How is executive team coaching different from individual executive coaching?

Individual executive coaching develops a single leader's skills, self-awareness, and performance. Executive team coaching develops the team's ability to function as a high-performing unit. Both are valuable, but they address different problems. If your organization's primary challenge is cross-functional misalignment, inconsistent accountability, or leadership team dysfunction, executive team coaching is the right intervention.

What does an executive team coaching engagement look like?

A Teams.Coach executive team coaching engagement typically runs 90 days and includes an initial diagnostic assessment, a leadership team workshop to establish shared identity and operating standards, bi-weekly working sessions with the full team, and individual accountability check-ins between sessions. The engagement produces a documented operating framework that the team can sustain independently after the engagement ends.

How much does executive team coaching cost?

Pricing is monthly with a three-month minimum, then month to month, with no long term contract. One fully deployed one-on-one seat is $3,000 per month, two seats are $5,000 per month, and three seats are $6,000 per month. Four or more seats are custom. Every seat also activates guided coaching and full assessments for up to 30 people on your team. Full details are on the packages page at teams.coach/packages.

When does an executive team need a coach?

An executive team benefits most from coaching when it is experiencing recurring conflict, inconsistent execution, cultural drift, or a significant transition such as a merger, acquisition, leadership change, or rapid growth. The most common mistake is waiting until the dysfunction is severe. Teams that engage a coach at the first signs of misalignment get significantly better results than teams that wait for a crisis.

Can executive team coaching work for remote or distributed teams?

Yes. Teams.Coach works with remote, hybrid, and in-person leadership teams. The core work (establishing shared identity, building accountability systems, and developing an operating rhythm) is equally effective in virtual formats. Remote teams often have more acute alignment challenges because the informal relationship-building that happens in physical proximity does not occur naturally.

What makes Michael King's approach to executive team coaching different?

Michael King's approach is built on the TEAMS framework, which addresses five specific dimensions of team performance: Targets, Execution, Action Steps, Momentum, and Synergy. Rather than starting with a generic team-building curriculum, every engagement begins with the free Team Alignment Diagnostic to identify the specific dimension that is limiting the team's performance. This ensures the work addresses the actual problem, not the presenting symptom.

How do I know if my executive team needs coaching or consulting?

Coaching and consulting address different needs. Consulting provides expert recommendations on what to do. Coaching develops the team's capacity to figure out what to do and execute it consistently. If your team knows what to do but struggles to execute together, coaching is the right intervention. If your team lacks the knowledge or frameworks to address a specific challenge, consulting may be more appropriate. Teams.Coach often combines both approaches in a single engagement.
