Life Masters, the Johannesburg-based high performance team development company led by founder Tony Dovale, has launched the Revolutionary Workplace® Leadership Alignment Accelerator, a programme and diagnostic process for repairing and aligning fractured executive, exco, management and board teams. Programmes are offered in Gauteng, South Africa, with bookings opening in January 2027.
The launch addresses a common yet often unmeasured issue in South African organizations: misaligned leadership leading to strain throughout the company. Decision-making slows, strategies falter in execution, and board-level tension affects company culture and performance.
"When an executive team is pulling in different directions, everything below it feels the strain, " said Tony Dovale, CEO, Life Masters. "We built the Leadership Alignment Accelerator so management, executive and board teams can see clearly where they are out of step and work through it together. Starting with talks and board interview meetings lets us meet each team where it actually is."
What the Accelerator is
Life Masters' Accelerator integrates leadership team diagnostics with guided sessions. These diagnostics reveal fractures within the team and highlight misalignments among members concerning priorities, decision rights, trust, and communication. The facilitated sessions then work through those gaps with the whole team together, rather than with leaders one by one. The result is a shared, tested understanding of what the team is there to achieve and how it will make decisions, resolve conflict and hold each other to account.
Who it is for
The Accelerator is designed for management teams, executive teams and boards, particularly where:
- Decisions are slow or repeatedly reopened
- Strategy execution has stalled
- There is tension or distrust at board or exco level
- Leaders are pulling in different directions or working to competing priorities
- A new CEO, merger or restructure has left the leadership team unaligned
How engagements work
Each engagement is tailored to meet the specific outcomes desired by the client. Some run as a two-day leadership retreat. Others run as multi-month alignment and optimisation projects.

Where it fits
The Accelerator is part of the Revolutionary Workplace® HPO Labs System and High Performance Teams experience. It extends Life Masters’ work on psychological safety, trust, collaboration and communication to the top of the organisation, where leadership teams are divided and need a structured way to work through the issues. Teams can move from the Accelerator into deeper work, including the High Performance Team Sprint, Execution Accelerator, Culture Reset or Executive Strategy Facilitation.
