Your team isn't misaligned. Your system is just protecting itself.

A useful distinction when working with leaders is the difference between being nice and being kind.
Most people assume they are the same thing, but they are not. In fact, a significant number of leadership failures stem from confusing one for the other.

Most leaders confuse being "nice" with being "kind."
Nice leaders rescue people, carry work that isn't theirs, and burn out.
Kind leaders hold high standards, tell the truth, and build leaders who actually grow. 👇️

Every time you quietly fix an employee's sloppy work or avoid an uncomfortable conversation, you aren’t being generous, you’re creating dependency.

The VPs who thrive understand that their job is no longer to be the best functional expert in the room. Their job is to create outcomes through other people, influence decisions beyond their authority and help the business succeed as a whole.

Everything is connected.

The executive team owns the why and the what. But your VPs have to own the how and the when. If they are waiting for direction instead of shaping it, you aren't running a cohesive business.

#Strategy
Strategy isn't a straight line. It's a loop. Product impacts retention; retention funds sales.
If your VPs only manage their own corners of the map, the burden of connecting the dots falls entirely on you.

This went out to my readers this morning.
I share practical ideas from my work with CEOs & leadership teams,
things I've seen work, mistakes I've seen repeated, and questions worth thinking about.
You can read today's edition (or join for future ones)

Lately, CEOs keep telling me the same things about their VPs:
• One works in a complete silo.
• One can’t see past next quarter.
• One waits for direction.
Are your VPs leading functions? Or helping lead the business?

Strategy doesn't spread through an organisation because it's intellectually correct.
It spreads when people can understand it, repeat it, believe it, and use it to make decisions every day.

Leadership teams spend months building strategies. The thinking is solid. The analysis is rigorous. The slides are beautiful.
Then six months later, nobody can explain what the strategy actually is.
