High performing leadership teams are characterized by effective CEO leadership and a team of experienced functional and business managers that demonstrate alignment and collaboration in their pursuit of shared goals. There is clarity on strategy, common understanding of culture, agility when it comes to working in ad hoc groups on special projects, and a high level of commitment to organizational outcomes. A key figure in successful leadership teams is the Chief of Staff who serves on behalf of the CEO as an integrator of the team, improving processes across functional domains, recognizing and managing areas for improvement, and advancing the strategic agenda.
