The Executive Team (ET)  validated survey provides feedback for a strategic team on their shared responsibility for generating a vision for the organization and managing day-to-day operations.  Successful executive teams have the skills necessary to oversee the company's growth and guide it through change.  Teams at this level develop goals and strategies that keep the organization competitive.  Members must collaborate and coordinate to effectively optimize decisions, balancing their role in the organization with their role in the team.  The ET measures an executive team's ability to impact the organization.
