ADVICE

Focus on the Real Problems

  • Focus on uncovering real problems through the work instead of getting bogged down in logistical details early on.
  • Address emerging issues as they arise; don't overthink potential problems beforehand.
INSIGHT

Unclear Leadership Roles

  • Leadership teams often lack clarity on their shared purpose and accountabilities.
  • This lack of clarity fuels the urge to control during transformations, as the rules of engagement aren't defined.
ADVICE

Define Shared Work

  • Leadership teams must define their shared work, moving beyond reporting on individual functions.
  • Focus on organizational design, including building the operating system (OS) and defining who does what.
