Hello. It has been a while since my last post. Took a little hiatus.
For today, I'd thought you might like to hear from four other LinkedIn influencers. I share links to other experts' posts and encourage you to connect with them. The information shared here is about a focus area that I love to talk about - strategy, systems, and success (S3).
A little context. Your company has one of the best products or services in your niche, but growth stalls out. Your strategy is well thought out and has been planned perfectly. But objectives are missed, growth stalls out, and your team is confused.
What could it be? It is very often the "human element." By that I mean, there is a lack of clarity, alignment, and effective communication. Let's hear from our guest presenters.

46 years ago, McKinsey identified Four Rules for Strategic Thinking. These are some good rules to start with, but like most academic approaches to strategy, they fail to consider the human dynamic. Strategy doesn't come to life all by itself - it has to energize people into action.

70% of organizational change efforts fail. One key reason: the human factor. The truth is, you can't transform a company without transforming its people. This requires understanding and addressing all four dimensions of change.

70% of CEOs say their strategy is clear but only 10% of their teams agree. There is a gap. If you’re scaling a company, there’s nothing more dangerous than thinking your strategy is clear, when it’s not. This is why my Wheel of Strategy matters.

Can’t the fundraising team just find some new major donors before the year-end? When someone asks you to pull a rabbit out of a hat, the real issue usually isn't the fundraising team - it's whether the organization is fundraising ready.

For success, always seek clarity, alignment, and effective communication around your strategy and systems.
