The best teams

keep getting better.

Leadership teams should too. Most don't.

I help founders and CEOs build leadership teams
that keep getting better.

Because better leadership teams build better companies.

Find your edge.

Every company has two engines of improvement: the founder or CEO, and the leadership team.The founder or CEO sets the pace. The leadership team determines what the company can achieve together. When both keep getting better, the company does too.

The most important team in the company.

The best leadership teams do more than operate the business. They move it forward by making faster progress on the hard problems that unlock growth and long-term value.Leadership teams only keep getting better when they:
• Decide that getting better matters.
• Build a way of working that sustains it.
• Use it to move the company forward, quarter after quarter.Most never make that decision.The teams that do, become capable of creating companies that stand apart. They tackle bigger problems, move faster and create more value for the business.As the leadership team improves, so does the company. The team develops a distinctive way of working. The company develops a distinctive way of winning. Together they become increasingly successful, difficult to copy and hard to ignore.FORGE is the discipline that enables leadership teams to keep getting better. One focused day a quarter. Every quarter.

The founder or CEO your company needs.

As the leadership team increasingly drives the company, the role of the founder or CEO changes too. You become less defined by the team, and more able to bring the contribution only you can make.That means seeing further ahead, shaping the future, building key relationships, creating opportunities, and making the decisions that nobody else can make.I help founders and CEOs become the founder or CEO their company needs: the driving force behind the company's future, direction and culture, rather than the glue holding the leadership team together.

About Ben Wales and Leader&Team

Prior to founding Leader&Team, I spent 19 years leading growth companies in London and Stockholm. Two were successfully acquired, but I left both believing they could have achieved more.That question stayed with me. It led me to complete an MSc in the Psychology of Coaching and Behaviour Change at Henley Business School, researching what I had come to believe was the critical factor: the team at the top.I founded Leader&Team in 2018 because I became convinced that building a real team at the top of a company dramatically improves what that company can achieve.Over the past nine years I've been developing a better way for leadership teams to improve.FORGE draws on the applied psychology of groups and teams, the practices of elite teams in sport and special forces, and the experience of every leadership team that has improved through FORGE.
