Build Leadership Capacity
Unlock your Team’s Full Potential to achieve Sustainable Growth
Great leadership teams make businesses succeed and sustain. Founder CEO’s role is crucial to put that leadership team together and lead it to the path of success. ​Their role keeps on evolving based on the stage at which the business and the leadership team is. Gaps in leadership create disruptions that lead to misalignment and inefficiencies. The key to sustainable growth is building the right kind of leadership capacity at every stage of business growth.
​
As a strategic coach we work with you to build the leadership capacity to scale up a business minimising operational inefficiencies, team churn, and stagnation.
​
Our Leadership Capacity Building methodology of Team coaching integrates:
-
Bruce Tuckman’s Stages of Team Performance - Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing with
-
John Whitmore’s GROW Coaching Model - Goal, Reality, Options, Way Forward (GROW)
This ensures that leadership teams evolve alongside business needs - leading to high-performance and self-sustaining organizations. It contains four stages that provide a roadmap for leaders to navigate the complexities of team building and enhance collaboration and productivity.
​
The Four Stages of Leadership Evolution (Mapped to Team Development)​​
*Bruce Tuckman model for Team performance
The four stages of organizational or Team culture are Orientation (Forming), Power Struggle (Storming), Cooperation (Norming) and Synergy (Performing). Understanding and navigating these four stages of team culture building can help leaders build resilient, high-performing teams capable of achieving exceptional results. By recognizing the unique challenges and opportunities at each stage, leaders can tailor their strategies to guide their teams towards sustained success.
​
The below table outlines the stages, team dynamics and the founder CEO’s leadership style in navigating the leadership challenges at each stage. The role of the Strategic Coach is to dynamically assess the leadership team development stage and enable the Founder CEO achieve relevant critical success factors as outlined below.
As a strategic coach we understand the culture of the organisation and enable the Founder CEO to set the path for the leadership team to reach the “performing” stage.
​
Next, we assess each team member in the leadership team to see where they are in this continuum. It may happen that different leadership team members operate in different parts of the curve. Once leaders become aware of their current mindset and their link between mindset and performance they can choose to change.
​
The table below outlines the challenges the team typically faces at each stage and we as strategic coaches enable the Founder CEO to align all the team members and collaborate through team coaching.

​
This phase involves defining what the Founder CEO and his leadership team wants to achieve, both in the short term and long term. Goals are then crafted by the Founder CEO along with the leadership team which are SMART ( specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound).
This then is followed by the remaining 3 stages of GROW coaching process viz : Reality check, Option to pursue and Action plan to realise the goals - all these stages will be completed along with the Founder CEO and his leadership team creating synergy resulting in superior performance.
