Teams of Leaders (ToL) is an approach for rapidly building and effectively employing cross-boundary teams that are highly competent in making and executing decisions and in learning and adapting together. The ToL approach helps the leader-teams to gain a common understanding of the situation and requirements, develop shared purpose, trust and confidence, and reach a higher level of performance faster.

This approach has proven successful in improving performance in hierarchical (vertical) and in peer-to-peer (horizontal) teams and in cross boundary teams, i.e. across units or departments within an organization, across organizations, across regions or across countries.

Teams of Leaders Training Opportunities

Building shared skills (behaviors), knowledge, and attitudes, or shared SKA, drives high levels of adaptive leader-team performance. This leader-team development requires experiential learning based on repeated, coached and deliberate practice through Leader Team Exercises or LTXs.

A 10-12 hour workshop held over 2 days has proven to help organizational leaders learn and apply the approach. The Center provides such training at its premises in Michigan and Ontario and at conference workshops across North America.

"We have come further in two days than we had in eight months ... I feel more focused and more confident...you know when we talk about the volume of work that we had to do it was a little bit of a drowning sensation now I feel like I’m really confident...we have a path.”
