Executive Team Development

At Hoola Hoop, CEO coaching is considered part of the executive team’s development. CEOs do not operate alone, they engage and, in many ways, are dependent on the broader team. Team development focuses on the following:

  • Enhanced Strategic Thinking—it is critical to equip your executives with advanced problem-solving skills and a forward-thinking mindset to navigate complex business challenges to enhance the organization’s strategic approach.
  • Improved Collaboration—developing a unified leadership team that works seamlessly and openly collaborates is important for the organization’s success.
  • Increased Accountability—strengthen accountability across your leadership team and ensure that everyone is aligned with the company’s goals and objectives and with each other.
  • Better Decision-Making—empower leaders with the tools and insights needed to make informed, strategic decisions that drive business success.

The bottom line, a stronger executive team cultivates strong leadership that inspires and motivates, improving employee engagement and guidance, and business outcomes.

Our executive team development engages you and your team in the work of effectively running your business, including:

  • One-on-one coaching—we provide ongoing executive coaching to individual members of the team. It is important to note that we maintain strict confidentiality in working with team members and do not play messenger. We do help members have difficult conversations with each other. We believe that in working with individual members of the team, it affords the coach an expanded view and allows for more active development of each participating member.
  • Team coaching—working with an executive team provides major benefits to the organization in helping the team better align, communicate, make decisions and operate the business. We typically participate in both monthly and quarterly business reviews (see below). We have seen dramatic improvements and high performance from teams that work at operating a business together, recognizing their dependencies and embracing their differences.
  • Monthly and quarterly business reviews—as noted above, conducting monthly and quarterly business reviews brings the key aspects of the organization’s operating and strategic issues to the fore. The monthly business review looks at key monthly indicators for the business, what worked well and what could have been improved and how. This is also an opportunity to explore any strategic issues that may have surfaced during the month. The quarterly business review is a time of review, reflection and course correction. It is the opportunity for all management/leadership and individual contributors to review what has gone wrong with the strategy and how to course correct for the next quarter. These moments are also great development opportunities, including reviewing individual and departmental performance.
  • Leadership and team assessments—we believe in being data driven in the development of our clients. Not only do we look at the financial and operating details of the business, we add two forms of data collection—360° reviews and standardized professional assessments. Our 360s are interview based, focusing on the strengths and development opportunities of the individual and team. We are also certified in a number of personality and leadership assessments which act as critical additional data for both individuals and teams. Team assessment profiles greatly enhance coaching and team development by allowing open conversations about individual’s different styles and beliefs.
