Your perfect strategy is tanked if the engine is out of fuel
Your new strategy is perfect.
The market analysis is brilliant.
The roadmap is crystal clear.
Your team is talented and motivated.
So why isn't it working?
Why does it feel like you're stuck in neutral?
Because you're focusing all your attention on the car, but you're ignoring the engine.
The leader is the engine of any team or organization.
If the engine is:
sputtering
out of fuel
or running on bad oil because of burnout, stress, or a lack of support
The most beautifully designed car in the world isn't going anywhere.
And a sputtering engine shows up in very specific ways.
It looks like hesitation on key decisions.
It sounds like mixed messages being given to the team.
It feels like a brilliant new initiative dying on the vine because the leader doesn't have the energy to champion it through the final mile.
This lack of progress is a quiet backslide.
And it’s giving your competitors the opening they've been waiting for.
Organizations spend the majority of their time polishing the car.
Refining strategy.
Optimizing processes.
Creating reports.
They spend less of their time making sure the engine is in peak condition by asking:
How is our leader’s personal capacity?
Resilience?
And well-being?
Flip that ratio.
And watch how fast you start moving.
Is it time for a tune-up for your most critical engines?
