Stoke by Nayland: Becoming a team,
not just sharing a meeting
Six leaders, some new to the team and some established. They wanted stronger working relationships, and more time for tactical and strategic work beyond daily operations.

The work
From six individuals to one team.
Understand each person
I started with 360-degree feedback, Management Drives and Lencioni’s team framework. Management Drives gives a team a shared language for what drives each person, and shows where misunderstandings start.
Agree shared objectives
Then we agreed shared objectives, and who owns what to deliver them.
Rebuild the meetings
We rebuilt the team’s meetings around actions and delivery.
The Executive Team
Before and after.
| Measure | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Objectives | One each | Shared by all six |
| Meetings | Daily operations | Clear structure and outcomes |
| Focus | Operational | Tactical and strategic |
In Matt’s words
“Working with Floor made us, as a newly formed Executive team,
into a TEAM.”
“We are now aware of our strengths and pitfalls, increasing our effectiveness.”
