The 90-Minute Leadership Team Reset
Use this when
The team has numbers.
It needs a decision.
A compact facilitation format for leadership teams that need to surface the real constraint, make a decision, and leave with visible commitments.
Leadership teams carrying unresolved priorities, duplicate ownership, or tension that keeps returning in different forms.
Run the guide
Four moves from noise to evidence.
Choose the decision
Agree on the single question the room must answer before discussing solutions.
Make the tradeoff
List what the team will stop, delay, or resource differently to support the decision.
Close the loop
Assign owners, evidence, deadlines, and the first review before anyone leaves.
Questions worth asking
Put these in the room.
- 01What are we pretending not to know?
- 02Which two priorities are competing for the same people or time?
- 03Who owns the decision—and who only needs to be heard?
- 04What evidence will tell us the agreement is working?
Keep the evidence visible
A simple scorecard.
