Why Executive Teams Stall And What To Do About It

Life + Leadership · 2026-01-20 · 57 min

0:00--:--

Episode notes

Most executive "teams" aren't really teams - they're high performers sharing airtime and reporting up. In this episode, Tegan and Maggie Gough unpack what actually makes a leadership team a team: shared enterprise goals, clear decision rights, and the ability to work through conflict without splintering. They talk about why so many strategies die after the deck is delivered, and how team coaching "in the field" creates traction without adding more meetings. If you're wondering why smart people keep spinning but the business isn't moving faster, this conversation will hit home. Resources Grab all the links and resources mentioned in this episode at:
