The way (senior) leadership teams operate has a major impact on how all teams across the organisation operate.
Senior leaders are the role models and set the tone for the quality of human interaction and alignment on purpose and goals.

Teams effectiveness largely depends on three elements:
* The quality of interpersonal relationships. trust and respect.
   The ability to deal with diversity, globalisation and new ways of working. These put increasing
   demands on the top teams and add complexity to the social cohesian of teams.
* Shared aspirations/goals:
   The ability to speak with one mouth, to communicate the same priorities, to provide the same
   rational for decisions is a critical success factor for senior teams.
* Having an agreed plan on roles and execution for the way forward.

Building/enhancing team effectiveness:

Building teams effectiveness focuses on the three elements mentioned above.
The approach can vary and needs to be flexible to address the specific challenges of the team. However, common elements are:
* An initial analysis of team dynamics, opportunities and challenges through individual interviews.
* Faciliation of group sessions(s). This can eb a few hours in the regular team meetings and/or
   decdicated workshops.
* The use of psychometric instruments like MBTI to highlight diverse and individual preferences in
   style.

Throughout the process, open/quality dialogue amongst the teammembers is encouraged and facilitated.
