Leadership Team Workshop
A structured engagement for the work only the senior team can do together.
Custom consulting for city and county managers, county administrators, and the senior leadership teams carrying decisions across the organization.
Thirty minutes on what you bring.
Open the conversationThe work in the room
The aim: a stronger way to work as one leadership team.
Useful when the team is carrying a change in how work gets done.
- Leadership transitionA new manager, administrator, or changed senior team needs a shared starting point.
- Cross-department frictionCapable leaders hold different views of the same issue, and regular meetings have not resolved it.
- Execution driftPriorities are clear on paper, but decisions and follow-through keep separating across the organization.
What the work is for
Build the conditions for clearer decisions and steadier follow-through.
The engagement creates structured time to work on the team, not only on the agenda in front of it.
The aim is leadership work that helps staff coordinate the services, responsibilities, and decisions the public depends on.
Shared clarity
Bring leadership perspectives, organizational priorities, and unresolved decisions into one working view.
Productive conflict
Practice naming different views directly while protecting the trust needed to keep working together.
Accountable follow-through
When included in the proposal, develop visible commitments, named responsibility, and an agreed review point.
A delivered municipal engagement
A scoped engagement can extend beyond the facilitated session.
One municipal engagement included assessments, individual coaching, facilitated offsite work, action planning, follow-up, and a written completion record.
That record supports the shape of the work. It describes one engagement, not a standard package or a promised result.
How it works
The four practices give the team one way to move from reality to reinforcement.
The Shift That Sticks is the methodology spine. The engagement applies it to the team and the situation in front of them.
Face the Truth
See the current reality without flinching.
Define What Matters
Name what the work is actually for.
Make It Real
Turn intention into action that holds.
Reinforce the Change
Build the rhythms that make it stick.
A scoped engagement may span several weeks. Scoping sets the useful mix of preparation, individual work, facilitated team time, action planning, and follow-through.
What may be included
A defined proposal follows the scoping conversation.
The proposal names the participants, preparation, sessions, working outputs, follow-through, and fixed fee for the agreed work.
