Selected insights
Ideas for better leadership decisions.
Strategy, Performance & TransformationStrategy Execution Needs Accountability Architecture
Strategy execution weakens when “ownership” is broad but accountability is vague. Strong execution makes decisions, commitments, dependencies, escalation and review explicit enough that strategic choices can travel through the organisation without losing force.
Leadership TransitionsThe First 100 Days Set Up the Next 300
The first 100 days matter because they compress learning, expectation and scrutiny. But the real test of a transition is not what a leader can announce by day 100. It is whether the first phase has created the mandate, relationships, operating rhythm and organisational conditions required for the next 300 days.
GovernanceCEO succession begins before the search
A search can identify candidates. Only long-horizon board work can define the future mandate, build credible options and prepare the organisation for a successful transition.
