One pattern has become difficult for me to ignore.
Organisations spend months refining strategy, but comparatively little time preparing the managers expected to bring that strategy to life.
Perhaps that’s why so many well-designed strategies struggle once they reach the real world.
In my experience, execution is rarely where the strategy breaks down. It’s where managers are left to interpret, communicate, and lead change without enough preparation.
A few reflections on why I believe manager readiness may be one of the most overlooked leadership priorities today.
I’m curious to hear your perspective. Have we underestimated the role managers play in turning strategy into reality?
