INTRODUCTION

The challenge for many senior executives is to get everyone, from top to bottom, on board to make their organizations work–—to implement whatever decisions have been made. How to go about it, however, is another matter. Without the presence of a team culture, it is very likely that executives will do things their own way, often resulting in uncoordinated, even conflicting decisions and actions. But if executives behave like ships passing in the night, they may act in ways that are not in the best interest of the organization or themselves. Implementation of strategy will suffer. The following case study illustrates how group coaching can be a methodology second to none, to have executives sing on the same page–—and accelerate execution. It is an intervention methodology increasingly utilized by premier strategic consulting firms.

CREATING ALIGNMENT FOR STRATEGY EXECUTION

These days, many senior executives struggle with the problem of getting things done. They know that they need to get everyone, from top to bottom on board to make their organizations work, but they do not know how to really go about it. They do not know how to achieve matrix-like alignmentfor strategy execution. What they do not know is that without the presence of a team culture, executives do things their own way, often resulting in uncoordinated, even conflicting decisions and actions. If people behave like ships passing in the night, they may act in ways that are not in the best interest of the organization or themselves. The challenge for organizations will be to stop such dysfunctional behavior. The conundrum is to have people act aligned in reality, not just on paper. It is here where group coaching can make a difference by ensuring that everyone within the organization can see and internalize the direction for the business and know how his or her job fits in within the ‘‘Big Picture.’’ Group coaching creates the kind of awareness that without true alignment, strategy execution suffers or fails because executives will not know what steps to take and when to take them. The creation of a clear roadmap through group coaching will positively affect a company’s success in execution.
