"Teamwork comes down to mastering a set of behaviors that are at once theoretically uncomplicated, but extremely difficult to put into practice day after day."
Pat Lencioni, "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team"

Executive teams often have difficulty working together as the team members have difficulty balancing the representation of their functions with the good of the company as a whole. Intergroup and interpersonal histories may collide; competition exists for budgetary resources, visibility, and career opportunity.
The work of the executive team is to consider the many competing factors that only converge at their level.
AR & Associates helps to unify strong teams by:
- Understanding the strengths of each team member
- Increasing the candor of their communication
- Reducing team tension
- Disclosing the biases that each brings to the decision-making process
- Building trust
- Realizing the impact of the decisions that each function has upon the others
- Keeping the focus on the “big picture"
