Aloha Friend !

A leader shared this with me not long ago:
“Our strategy was clear at the offsite. Everyone nodded. Everyone agreed. But two weeks later—it felt like it had vanished.”

If you’ve been there, you know the ache. The numbers say 67% of strategies fail—but what they don’t capture is the 2 a.m. wake-up, the knot in your chest, the doubt that maybe your vision is fading in the work.

This week, let’s step into that gap together.

🌌 Explore

The strategy-execution gap isn’t just an organizational problem—it’s a deeply personal one for leaders. Execution erodes quietly, not in headlines but in missed follow-ups, blurred priorities, and the sinking feeling that your boldest ideas are slipping away.

🛠️ Design

Closing the gap isn’t about working harder. It’s about leading differently:

• Turn vision into ritual. Repeat the roadmap until it lives in the room without you.

• Make time sacred. Protect 90 minutes every week for execution.

• Use frameworks, not hope. OKRs, Scorecards, rails that translate ambition into action.

• Stay agile. Weekly adjustments, not annual rigidity.

• Align resources. Budgets tell the truth of your priorities.

• Build shared ownership. Break silos and let people say, “This is ours.”

🚀 Act

This week, carve out space to ask your team the one question that leaders often avoid:
“Where is our strategy dying in the work?”

And then, don’t defend. Don’t rush. Listen. The silence may sting—but it’s where alignment is reborn.

🪞 Reflect

When was the last time your strategy felt most alive?
What was happening in the work that made it real—and what’s missing now?

I’ve created a one-page “Strategy into Execution” Checklist you can pin to your next team meeting. Use it as a simple ritual to keep vision tethered to daily action. Want it? Send me an email to let me know what is the one thing you would apply next week.
