Book a Free CallLeadership team coaching treats a senior team as the client, working on how its members make decisions, surface conflict, and hold one another to account. At the top tier it is often called executive team coaching, and the coach works on the team's real decisions over months, not in a one-day offsite. A team of strong individuals can still make slow decisions, avoid real disagreement, or compete instead of aligning. That is a team-level problem, and individual development does not fix it directly.
Executive team coaching works in four stages. The coach baselines the team and each leader, coaches the group on real decisions at a set cadence, has members practice new behavior on the job, and measures the change against that baseline at midpoint and close. The program is one you can budget and measure. Our coaches are current and former C-suite leaders with 25+ years of experience. Every team coaching program runs on The Altitude Framework. We baseline each leader, define where the business needs them, and build a cadence that turns insight into changed behavior.
Thirty minutes is enough to scope the group, outcomes, cadence, and proof of impact.

Book a Free CallTeam coaching is coaching for a whole leadership team at once, focused on how it operates together. A coach works with the team in its real meetings to improve decisions, disagreement, and accountability, treating the team as the client. Stratos Coaching provides it for senior leadership teams through the C-suite.
Team coaching is coaching where the client is a team, not a person. A coach works with the whole group, usually in its actual meetings, on how it functions together. That covers how it decides, resolves disagreement, holds members accountable, and pulls in one direction.
The individuals may all be excellent and the team still underperform. Team coaching works on how they operate together.
As in one-to-one coaching, the coach works through inquiry, not advice, helping the team see its own patterns and decide what to change. A prescribed fix rarely survives the next hard quarter.
Individual coaching changes how one leader operates. Team coaching changes how a group operates together, which is a different problem. A team of well-coached executives can still make slow decisions, avoid disagreement, or compete instead of aligning.
Team coaching also differs from a team-building offsite, which is an event. Team coaching is a sustained engagement on real decisions, with the coach in the room.
To decide which one you need, see leadership team coaching versus individual executive coaching.
Leadership team coaching services start with a baseline, an explicit team goal, and a way to measure progress. A typical engagement includes:
For a rollout across multiple teams, this pairs with our corporate coaching programs and group coaching for leadership teams.
Team coaching fits a leadership team that is capable individually but stuck as a unit. Typical signs are slow decisions and unspoken conflict. Common triggers are a new team that must gel fast or a major change the team must lead. Participants range from senior managers up through the full executive team.
The buyer is usually a CEO, Head of Talent, or L&D leader who sees that the constraint is the team, not one person.
Team coaching is priced to team size and engagement length, not per session, so ranges vary. As an industry reference, senior coaching runs $300 to $1,000+ per session and six-month engagements land between $5,000 and $20,000+ per leader.
Organization-wide programs are commonly budgeted at $10,000 to $15,000 per leader per year. Stratos prices each team engagement individually to your outcome and shares the exact number in one 30-minute call. See our cost of executive coaching guide for the full ranges.

Individual coaching changes how one leader operates, while team coaching changes how a group operates together. Well-coached individuals can still form a team that decides slowly or avoids conflict, and individual development does not fix that directly.
Leadership team coaching applies team coaching to a senior or executive team, where misalignment is most expensive. It focuses on how the top team decides, disagrees, and aligns, usually in its actual meetings over a sustained engagement.
