During the past
20+ years we have worked with many executive teams from several
industries. Our experience and research results with executive teams
can be illustrated by the following model by W. Cook. Consider the
"A" and "C" like a grade given in school.

Many executives
we meet with, initially agree with the first scenario where an average
team with a superior product or services can only expect a slightly
better than average outcome. Interestingly, we find that many executives
initially find the second scenario more difficult to accept. How
could a superior team get superior results with only an average
product or service? At first glance this may seem to be counter
intuitive. Our experience has compelled us to say with a resounding
affirmation, that this is indeed the case! The third scenario is
a CEO's dream. In partnership with the executive team, our proven processes
help make this happen.
Many organizations
are willing to put significant resources and energy into improving
their product or service and yet are not as inclined to work on
the highest leverage opportunity they have.the executive team! The
executive team is (or ought to be) where the action is. This is where
most opportunities lie.
Although each
situation is different, we have some common elements in our process
that have helped executive teams get to that "A" level.
“The
best companies know without a doubt where real productivity
comes from. It comes from challenged, empowered, excited,
rewarded teams of people. It comes from engaging every single
mind in the organization, making everyone part of the action,
and allowing everyone to have a voice in the success of the
enterprise. Doing so raises productivity, not incrementally,
but by multiples.”
General Electric Chairman and CEO Jack Welch
