Leadership Team Audit

A deep-dive into leadership dynamics and alignment. Includes CEO and C-level interviews, team meeting observation, and a tailored report with actionable recommendations. Designed to surface blind spots, strengthen collaboration, and accelerate decision-making at the top. COACH takes a leadership audit lens to governance, decision flow, and risk management – a clear assessment that shows what’s working, what isn’t, and where focus and accountability need to shift.

 

The Leadership Team Audit is for organisations where the stakes are high and leadership alignment makes or breaks results.

CEOs and Founders who want to know if their leadership team is fully aligned or quietly pulling in different directions.

C-level Executives who carry ownership of critical functions and need to sharpen collaboration across silos.

Silent Misalignment

Decisions look unanimous in the room, but execution reveals conflicting priorities, hidden doubts, and stalled momentum.

Siloed Thinking

Each executive runs hard in their lane, but cross-functional collaboration breaks down, leaving strategy fragmented.

Slow or Risk-Averse Decisions

High-stakes choices drag on or default to the safest option, costing speed, innovation, and market opportunities.

STEP 1 — CEO & C-Level Interviews

Through one-on-one interviews, each leader’s perspective, priorities, and frustrations are surfaced. This creates a clear picture of alignment and misalignment across the top team. By comparing individual views, blind spots and unspoken tensions are revealed early. The process ensures leaders’ voices are heard without group pressure.

STEP 2 — Live Team Observation

A leadership meeting is observed in real time to see dynamics as they unfold. This step goes beyond theory to capture decision-making patterns, collaboration levels, and how conflict is managed. Subtle behaviours — silence, repetition, or avoidance — often expose the deeper issues holding the team back. It’s where “violent politeness” and power imbalances become visible.

STEP 3 — Report & Debrief

Findings are consolidated into a tailored report with actionable recommendations. The debrief session doesn’t just deliver the results but helps the team discuss them openly, building momentum for change. Leaders walk away with clarity on what to address and a shared commitment to next steps.

Client Testimonials

Misaligned Leadership & Teams

“Our departments chased different targets and strategy meetings turned into turf wars. Svetlana aligned us on one milestone, cascaded KPIs, and clarified ownership. Within two quarters, execution doubled and collaboration soared.

Anna M.
COO, Global Tech Company
Decisions Stuck in Endless Loops

“Every board meeting ended with polite agreement and no clear call. Svetlana named the blind spots, set decision rules, and coached us to commit. Our leadership now makes big calls in days, not months.

David R.
CEO, Financial Services Group
Silos Blocking Strategy Execution

Each C-level ran their own playbook, and results stalled. Svetlana’s audit surfaced the disconnects and forced real dialogue. We left with one map, shared KPIs, and measurable growth within a year.

Lina S.
Board Chair, Healthcare Enterprise
Culture Drift After Rapid Scaling

“After doubling headcount, our leadership team lost alignment and trust. Svetlana observed us in action, named tensions we ignored, and gave us practical fixes. The shift was immediate — sharper collaboration and faster delivery.

Mark T.
Founder, SaaS Scale-Up
Hidden Conflict in the C-Suite

“On the surface we were united, but beneath it, rivalries slowed us down. Svetlana created a safe space to confront issues and reset relationships. The team emerged stronger, aligned, and ready for the next growth phase.

Elena V.
HR Director, International Logistics Firm
