Top Strategies for Improving Team Communication

Executive Team Development Coaching

Strong teams don’t happen by chance. Our coaching helps executive teams build trust, align vision, and strengthen collaboration, creating leaders who guide their organizations toward unity, resilience, and long-term success.

Turn a Group of Leaders into a Team

Our executive team development coaching helps an intact leadership team align, trust each other, and lead together. This is coaching for the team as a unit, not just its individuals, because a group of strong leaders is not the same as a strong leadership team. It is part of our broader executive coaching.

When Team Coaching Makes Sense

Team coaching fits when a leadership team is talented individually but not yet aligned, trusting, or effective as a group.

A Leadership Team Still Finding its Feet

A newly assembled leadership team is full of capable people who have not yet learned to lead together. Team coaching helps them build trust, agree on how they will work, and align behind shared goals quickly, so the group becomes a real team rather than a collection of strong individuals defending their own corners.

Choose the Focus that Fits the Team

If the team is new, focus on alignment and trust. If silos are the issue, focus on shared goals over turf. If trust is low, focus on candor. We shape the focus together at the start.

How Leadership Teams Apply This

“Had my 1st coaching session today and it was most enjoyable. I have no doubt Brian is the perfect person for me for this journey. I am blessed!”

Suzanne LaBroad, Vice President, Recruiting & Recognition

“I have got to tell you that our affiliation with the John Maxwell Company has been the best thing that has happened at HAG since I have been here! This program has changed my dealerships! We are relating better to each other and our customers, we have more patience with each other, and there is a general sense of “getting along” better that I am truly excited about. I want to personally thank you for bringing in this program into HAG and wanted you to know that I am personally seeing the benefits of this.”

Donna Gebers, Market Area Vice President

“I am very impressed by the Maxwell program.”

Charles V. Ricks, Chairman

Frequently Asked Questions

How is your approach to executive team development different from other team coaching providers?

Most team coaching providers hand people information and hope it sticks. Ours is built on John C. Maxwell’s body of work, refined across decades inside organizations of every size, and delivered by certified facilitators trained to turn ideas into habits. The difference shows up afterward, in how your people lead. Many clients pair this with executive coaching to keep the growth going.

What does a typical team coaching engagement look like?

Every engagement starts with your goals and the people you want to develop. From there we shape a sequence of sessions, practical application between them, and checkpoints to see what is changing. A team coaching engagement can run as a focused series over a few months or a longer journey for a full pipeline. We adjust format, pace, and content to fit how your people actually work.

Is this for the whole team or individuals?

This is coaching for the leadership team as a unit, working with the group together. It often runs alongside individual coaching for specific leaders, so people grow personally while the team grows collectively.

Can you support multi-location and global teams?

Yes. Maxwell Leadership works through the Maxwell Leadership Certified Team, a global community of more than 50,000 coaches, speakers, and trainers operating in over 150 countries. A multi-site or global rollout can be delivered consistently, in region and often in local language, rather than flown in from one headquarters. We coordinate centrally so every location gets the same quality and the same shared language.

How do you measure impact or ROI from a team coaching engagement?

We set the measures with you at the start, so success is defined before the work begins. That often combines hard indicators like retention, promotion readiness, and team performance with assessments taken before and after to show how behavior has shifted. We review progress at checkpoints throughout, not just at the end, so you can see the return building and adjust while it still matters.

Can you equip our internal leaders to sustain it?

Yes, and many organizations want exactly that. We can certify and coach your internal leaders to carry the content themselves, so the work keeps running long after the initial engagement. This builds a self-sustaining culture of development, keeps the shared language alive as new people join, and lowers long-term cost because your own leaders move it forward.

Who is this team coaching engagement designed for?

Intact leadership and executive teams that need to align, build trust, and lead as one.
