Jordan form of the matrices of a group

Let's consider a set of $m$ generic square matricies $(N;N) $ defined on $R$ which forms a group. Chosen one of these $ m $ matrices, I know that, by changing the base on my vectorial space, I can obtain a diagonal matrix or at least a matrix in a Jordan form. My question is, does exist a particular change of basis rapresented by the matrix $T$ , which diagonalizes or puts in Jordan form all the matrices of the group? If so, how is this matrix $T$ ?
