Stan.
The Check

You walked through seven things.
Here is the list.

If one landed, the next move is simple. If none landed, the next move is even simpler.

  1. A leadership team aligned in the deck but not in the room.
  2. One strategy producing four quiet executions.
  3. The real disagreement running in the Slack DMs.
  4. Costs that compound in people and transitions, not on the P&L.
  5. A team protecting you from the conversation that would help.
  6. An outside role nobody in the orbit can play.
  7. A first conversation to name the drift out loud.

Three questions left. Then we are done.

So: who is actually in the room?
