Senior Management Team: Harmonious Homogeneity? 

The President of a New England Ski Resort asked me if the senior management team should be homogenous, all on the same page. 

My Response: 

The senior management team should be diverse during decision-making and harmonious homogeneity after the decision is made. 

You will want real discussion and debate, considering differing perspectives and ideas during the decision-making process, but once the decision is made, every member of the senior management team must get behind the decision and implement it as designed in a way that ensures success. This is where it can get a bit tricky. More on this another time.  

What are your thoughts on this topic?
