Notes from the practice
Turnover climbs after a deal closes, and the leaders you most want to keep move first. How to name a combined leadership team quickly and make it work.
Two capable executives, both performing, who have stopped collaborating. How to tell which of three conflicts you have and run the conversation that fixes it.
An offsite is the most expensive meeting you run. Build the agenda backwards from three to five decisions, and design the fourteen days that follow it.
Alignment is not a pleasant meeting. It is four answers every executive should give identically, cold. Here is the test and the layer most teams fail.
Executive team dysfunction is quiet, not loud. Eight observable signs, what causes each one, and why the chief executive is usually the last to see it.
