leadership team
Organization's guiding group
A leadership team is the group of senior executives who collectively manage an organization—typically the CEO and their direct reports.
The term emphasizes shared responsibility and collaboration rather than a single leader: The leadership team met to discuss the restructuring.
In smaller organizations, it may include department heads or founders working together on strategy and operations.
