SBT Leadership Shift™
Leadership Alignment & Effectiveness
For a CEO, executive committee or Board facing misalignment, a governance question, a trust issue or a leadership gap.
A misaligned leadership team at the top is rarely a single event. It shows first in slower decisions, then in a Board that stops trusting the read it is given, then in a leadership team that no longer moves as one. Most organisations can absorb a difficult quarter. Few can absorb twelve to eighteen months of a leadership team that has stopped deciding together.
It starts with a diagnostic
The defined base of this Shift: one diagnostic, three core programmes and one accountable mission lead.
- Duration
- 3 to 5 months
- Scope
- 1 diagnostic + 3 core programmes
- Steering
- 1 accountable mission lead
- Fee
- Fixed, confirmed after scoping
Focused on the executive committee: 8 to 10 interviews to read decision rights, trust and alignment at the top.
The three programmes run in sequence, in this order.
Board & Strategic Alignment
Aligning Boards, leaders and key stakeholders around shared priorities, governance principles and decision-making frameworks. Alignment cannot be imposed; it is built through structured work.
Contribution to the Shift: puts governance and decision rights back on a shared footing before anything else is addressed.
Practice leadFabrice GattiLeading Partner · Board & Organisational EffectivenessExecutive Assessment
Evaluation across ten dimensions: capabilities, leadership style, motivations, cultural alignment. Psychometric tools suited to the role and context, combined with interviews led by senior advisors, coaches or organisational psychologists.
Contribution to the Shift: gives the mission lead and the Board an evidence-based read on the CEO or key leader, before the roadmap is committed.
Practice leadAntoine LeygonieLeading Partner · Leadership & Talent DevelopmentExecutive Coaching
Individual coaching for the CEO or the key leader the aligned decisions depend on: the discipline to hold them, decision after decision, once governance is realigned.
Contribution to the Shift: turns the aligned decision into a posture the leader can actually hold under pressure.
