Section 01
Leadership Moment
Why this matters now.
A CEO and Divisional Leader continue leaving meetings frustrated. Both believe they are aligned on the work, yet execution slows, trust thins, and energy leaks from the relationship. The CEO senses resistance. The Divisional Leader senses dismissal. The friction is not just about the task. It is a signal.
