For some time now, the business world has witnessed the emergence of the executive team as a defining force in modern corporate governance. Indeed, as the challenges of corporate stewardship become increasingly diverse and complex, more and more CEOs are opting for the advantages a team-supported approach to organizational leadership holds over more traditional models. But what many CEOs and even team members themselves may not realize is that the effectiveness of executive teams hinges on a solid understanding of what they are and of what it takes to lead them. \x09Based on the collective experience of the renowned Delta Consulting Group–experience spanning some fifteen years–Executive Teams is a powerful resource change agents can use to create and maintain senior teams that work. It draws upon change initiatives undertaken at Xerox, Corning, Lucent Technologies, Chase Manhattan Bank and other firms to demonstrate exactly what executive teams are all about and detail the proficiencies CEOs must master to ensure their success. Moreover, Executive Teams explores the elusive dynamics at play within these groups that, if not properly addressed, can seriously jeopardize a company’s well-being. \x09In addition to the broad conceptual framework it provides, Executive Teams offers a wealth of practice-driven insights and concrete suggestions for applying the knowledge its authors gained through their work with more than 130 top organizations. CEOs will discover answers to such critical questions as “What strategies have other CEOs employed to skillfully lead their teams?” and “How should individual roles, responsibilities, and reporting relationships be defined?” Team members will come away with specific ideas for implementing strategy, leading transformations, changing organizational culture, and achieving other directives within their spheres of influence. \x09In short, the range and depth of professional experience brought to Executive Teams makes it the most comprehensive, practically conceived work on the subject ever written. It’s one reference CEOs, team members, and anyone else concerned with the establishment and ongoing success of executive teams will want to keep readily at hand.
