executive retreats

Team alignment is critical for delivering transformational change. Tightening the bonds, developing a shared language, establishing common goals and encouraging cross-functional collaboration creates unity in an Executive Team to deliver results.

why run an executive retreat?

A Chief Maker executive retreat follows three integrated stages – understand and analyse the environment, unite and align the team, and execute the plan. Every program is fully customised depending on where the business sits within the Chief Maker framework, “Fix – Reset – Grow – Change the Game”.

Key takeaways include complete team clarity and commitment to a shared vision, establishment of an operating rhythm to drive the plan forward, development of a team playbook to guide decision making in challenging times, increased accountability and a deeper trust built on giving and receiving feedback in a constructive way.

From the get go, Greg actively engaged with all stakeholders to ensure crystal clear purpose and critical success factors were known and understood. At all times, Greg skillfully balanced being responsive to his customer, with constructively challenging, if he believed there might be a better way.

Angela Tsoukatos, Sydney Water

Greg had all our staff’s attention from beginning to end with some amazing insights and lateral thinking that we hadn't even considered. The results have been almost instantaneous within weeks of our course.

As a team we were able to create a clear vision, instil a sense of passion, start to develop plans to achieve the vision and finally establish a routine to monitor and assess our progress.
