See what is really happening in your leadership team, in five weeks.
The Team Diagnostic gives a new or changing leadership team an honest, evidence-based picture of how it works under pressure, what it does well, and the few patterns holding it back. You finish with a clear map and a plan you can act on.
How the five weeks run
We ask for a little of each person’s time and very little of yours. Everything people share is confidential and reported only as themes.
- Week 1
Scope and design
A kick-off with you to agree the questions that matter, the stakeholders to hear from, and how we will talk to the team.
- Weeks 2–3
Listen and observe
A confidential 45-minute interview with each team member, the Schemas in Team Coaching Diagnostic as the team survey (already done if your team has taken the free team check), input from two or three stakeholders, and one live team meeting observed.
- Week 4
Make sense of it
We turn everything into a Team Map: strengths to protect, the patterns that show up under pressure, and where they come from.
- Week 5
Decide what’s next
A 90-minute debrief with you, then a half-day working session where the team sees its own picture and agrees its priorities.
What you walk away with
Concrete outputs you can use whether or not you continue working with us.
- The Team MapA clear written and visual picture of how your team works, drawn from what people told us and what we saw.
- Three prioritiesThe few changes that would make the biggest difference, agreed with the team rather than handed to it.
- Leader debriefA private conversation about your own impact on the team and where to focus your energy.
- Team working sessionHalf a day in which the team owns its findings and commits to new working agreements.
- A 12-month roadmapA practical plan for the year ahead, with an optional proposal if you want support delivering it.
Start free. Nothing is wasted.
Take the free Schemas in Team Coaching Diagnostic yourself, then invite your team, whatever its size. You get an anonymous team report showing where people agree and where they see things differently. If you go on to the Team Diagnostic, those results become its team survey, so the five weeks start from what your team has already told you.
- Half the fee on signature, half at the leader debrief.
- Founding-client terms for our first three teams, until 15 December 2026.
- Delivered online, or on site in the New York metro area at no extra fee.
- If you continue into team coaching (6 or 12 months) within 60 days, half of the diagnostic fee is credited to it.
Questions leaders ask
How much time does it take from my team?
About two hours per person across the five weeks: one interview, a short survey (the Schemas in Team Coaching Diagnostic, about eight minutes) and the half-day working session. Your own time is roughly five hours, including the kick-off and the debrief.
Is what people say kept confidential?
Yes. Interviews are confidential and findings are reported only as themes. No comment is attributed to a person without their explicit agreement.
Is this an assessment of individual performance?
No. The diagnostic looks at the team as a system: how it makes decisions, handles disagreement and works under pressure. It is not used to evaluate individuals.
What happens after the five weeks?
You own the Team Map and the roadmap. Many teams continue into team coaching (6 or 12 months, billed monthly) to put the priorities into practice, but there is no obligation.
Can you work with a team outside the US?
Yes. The diagnostic runs online across time zones, and we work with teams in Europe and Asia-Pacific through our partners.
