Moment #113: Where Do We Go Wrong With Strategy?

Moment #113 // Many company strategies look good on face value, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re effective.


There are many reasons for this, and in this Moment, I look at four of the more common ones.


Once you see all the places where strategy can go wrong, you’ll understand why delivering value is sometimes so difficult.


If you want to go deeper on how to improve execution by working on the highest-value work, have a listen to Ep.318: 5 Reasons Why Your Strategy Is Failing.

  • 360. Why the Astronomer CEO’s Viral Mistake Matters for Every Leader

    18:10||Season 1, Ep. 360
    Astronomer CEO on Coldplay Kisscam: A leadership lesson in trust, power & judgment.Social media platforms have been full of schadenfreude (read: pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune), as the relationship between two company executives was inadvertently revealed for the world to see on the Jumbotron at a Coldplay concert.We shouldn’t fall into the trap of making moral judgments. Everyone has to make their own choices about how they live their lives, and then accept the consequences - good, bad, or indifferent. Karma is reliable, and it’s not for us to judge.But this cautionary tale gives us plenty of leadership lessons to consider!In this episode, I explore the themes of hubris, trust, power imbalances, and meritocracy, and give a prognosis for the future careers of the individuals involved.————————🔥 2,000+ No Bullsh!t Leaders Are Inside… You In? 🔥Join our free Skool community for real leaders with no egos. 👥 High-calibre connections.🎧 Weekly Podcast Club prompts.📢 Unfiltered convos that shape the podcast content.You’re in the trenches, so are we.

    You’re not responsible for everyone’s success. Here’s what you are responsible for.As leaders, we often feel as though it’s our obligation to make sure that everyone on our team is happy, motivated, and succeeding. As much as that would be nice, it is also incredibly unrealistic.The notion that you can make everyone successful is somewhat ridiculous, given the myriad human conditions you’ll come across in the teams you lead.What should your people reasonably expect from you, and what do they need to do to meet you half way?If you want to go deeper into the reasons why you can’t rescue everyone, have a listen to Ep.65: How Do You Make Someone Change?.————————🔥 2,000+ No Bullsh!t Leaders Are Inside… You In? 🔥Join our free Skool community for real leaders with no egos. 👥 High-calibre connections.🎧 Weekly Podcast Club prompts.📢 Unfiltered convos that shape the podcast content.You’re in the trenches, so are we.

  • Moment 128. Should You Be a Servant to Your People?

    04:45|
    Is servant leadership helping - or hurting - your team’s performance? Here’s the truth.The concept of servant leadership isn’t new. It departs from traditional leadership models by shifting the focus from the organisation to the people who work for it.But is this a good idea? Can your team still perform at its peak if you divest the accountability of your position? Or is this noble sounding theory more likely to lull you into a false sense of security, which ultimately damages your team’s ability to thrive and grow?If you want to go deeper on the myths surrounding servant leadership, have a listen to Ep.109: Servant Leadership.————————🔥 2,000+ No Bullsh!t Leaders Are Inside… You In? 🔥Join our free Skool community for real leaders with no egos. 👥 High-calibre connections.🎧 Weekly Podcast Club prompts.📢 Unfiltered convos that shape the podcast content.You’re in the trenches, so are we.
