Leadership Grid

About this block

Leadership Grid puts six leaders on the page as portraits beside a name, role, and one sentence on the thing each personally answers for. The heading and lede frame it as ownership rather than a wall of headshots, so a reader can tell in one pass whose week a given problem lands on.

The leaders are one array of name, role, the line each owns, and a portrait. Two or three across is the natural fit, six is the default count. A closing line under a rule notes these are the only titles in the company, which turns the grid into a quiet statement about how flat the team runs.

When to use

Reach for this block on about and careers pages where the leadership is the pitch, small teams, founder led companies, and anyone selling accountability over headcount. It differs from a standard team wall by giving each leader a job to answer for instead of a bio.

A natural flow around it on a Marketing Pro page:

Before

• About narrative the leaders then put faces to

After

• Team showing the wider roster beneath them
• Careers for the reader who wants to work under them

What you can display

One strong use is a flat six person leadership team with clear ownership. Other grids:

• Founding team. The people who started it, with what each built first.
• Advisory board. Outside operators and the call each is there to answer.
• Department heads. One owner per function, stated as a promise.

Tip: spend the one line on what each leader owns, not their resume, the ownership is what makes the grid land.
