Schemas in Leadership — Team Edition

Capable people. Stuck team. A half-day to change the pattern.

Most leadership teams don’t stall for lack of talent. They stall on patterns nobody names: the leader who steps in too fast under pressure, the meeting after the meeting, the standards no one can meet, the conflict everyone avoids. The Team Edition gives your leaders a shared, practical language for what drives behavior under pressure, and a way to choose differently.

What’s included

Built on Daniela Aneva’s book Schemas in Leadership (see it on Amazon). Every participant receives a copy.

  1. Before

    The book and short pre-work

    A copy of Schemas in Leadership for each participant, plus a 15-minute reflection on how each leader tends to react under pressure. Developmental, not clinical.

  2. The half-day

    Live workshop

    About 3.5 hours, online or on site in New Jersey, New York or Pennsylvania. Why capable leaders repeat what doesn’t work; the patterns under leadership behavior; each leader’s own patterns; the team pattern map; interrupting the pattern; team agreements.

  3. Within 5 days

    Team pattern map

    A one-page summary for the team leader: the patterns most likely to collide, what they cost, and where to start.

  4. After 30 days

    Follow-up session

    A 60-minute session to review each leader’s 30-day experiment and lock in what works.

What your leaders leave with

  • A shared language for what happens to them, and to the team, under pressure.
  • Each leader’s two or three most active patterns, their triggers and their cost.
  • Practical ways to interrupt a pattern in the moment.
  • Team agreements for the situations that usually go wrong.
  • One 30-day experiment per leader, reviewed together a month later.

Who it is for

Leadership teams and groups of managers of 8 to 20 people: executive teams after a restructure or a new leader, managers stepping up to lead leaders, and teams where trust, pace or conflict has become a problem.

The Schemas in Team Coaching Diagnostic takes about eight minutes. You rate one team on 30 statements and get an instant report on its five foundations, the patterns beneath the surface and three things to try in the next 30 days. Then, if you like, invite the whole team, whatever its size, for an anonymous team report at no cost.
