Executive & Senior Team coaching

Individual, team and organisation insights-led interviews

The MRA 7 Accelerating principles, along with your organisation’s Strategy and Leadership behaviours form the basis of the diagnostic in-depth 1:1 interviews.

We start with a 1:1 interview with the leader of the team, this is then followed by 1:1 interviews with every member of the team and further 1:1 interviews with other senior stakeholders within the organisation to provide system-wide insights. Enhancing the external self awareness of the team is critical in maximising its conscious choices and intended impact.

This culminates in a bespoke Team Insights paper highlighting strategic team challenges and opportunities, delivered back with 100% transparency. Our MRA Accelerating principles are:

• Ambition: What is the core purpose of your team? What is the vision and ambition of the team?
• Awareness: Are there any statutory Directors in this team, and are they clear on their legal responsibilities? What is your corporate governance framework? How aware is the team of their individual strengths, preferences and values? How do these translate into team behaviours?
• Assurance: How much do team members trust each other? Who drives the culture? Who holds the power?
• Adult: How can you provide the appropriate amounts of high support / high challenge to create a truly Adult:Adult performance environment?
• Achievement: What governance is in place when this team come together? How much do the team focus on activities that only the team could and should be focussing on? What leadership styles are prevalent within the team and what impact does this have?
• At the top: How ready are you as a leader of the organisation or team to fully engage in this process from a systemic perspective and fully listen and accept the feedback about your teams effectiveness and your leadership of them?
• Aligned: Are you seen as a value creating team for all of your stakeholders across your entire ecosystem? Are you clear on your team’s impact on the system you operate within? How do you know what everyone needs from this team both now and in the long term?

Individual and collective team ‘leadership’ psychometric profiling

A high performing team is only ever based on the foundation of high self-awareness; as individuals and as a collective. Working with the Hogan-Lead suite of psychometric profiling reports (HPI, MVPI, HDS), everyone in the team will undertake a full profiling experience. Individual reports will then be collated to create a team report giving deep insight into the accumulation of personalities and their impact on one another, and the leadership of the organisation. This intensive experience using a world-leading psychometric framework brings clarity and a clear plan of action to life.

Live action effectiveness observation and system-wide feedback

Following on from the Insights-led interviews and the Leadership psychometric profiling, teams are then observed live in action as they operate in their standard every-day leadership practices. ‘Noticing’, ‘playing back’, ‘opportunity sharing’ and ‘at the top direct feedback to the leader’ are the key skills that your MRA Executive Team Coach will bring to the room. You can expect an honest, ego-free feedback experience of the highest standard that both champions and challenges the function of the team.
