The Gap

Most of that gap lives in how talented leaders think, decide and act together.

Your leaders are good at their jobs. The gap shows up when they work as one team, in decisions that get reopened and in your strongest people carrying more than their share.

One workshop can name the gap. Closing it takes the same team, month after month, doing the work together. The Team Accelerator gives your team five months of focused work with Dr. Joe Hill, one session a month, each built on the month before.

How It Works

Five months. Each one builds on the last.

It starts with a clear read on how your team works today, then moves through one focused session each month.

Where It Leads

The first lap of the Team Institute.

The Team Institute is HPG's long-form leadership team series, built one Leader Competency at a time. The Team Accelerator is its first lap.

In five months your team gets the diagnostic, the shared language, each leader's profile and the first three competencies. When the Accelerator ends, your team can keep going into the rest of the Institute with that groundwork already in place.

"GateWay's breakthrough came from intentional work on team cohesion. We built shared leadership standards, a common language, and a commitment to lead systems together. We learned to be different together."
