Driving Behavior at Scale
Two ways to lead change. Only one of them moves your people.
You've got clear KPIs. A year on, the numbers haven't moved the way you expected. Here's why, and what a better way looks like.
What most leaders do
- You set the vision and define the outcomes. The direction is clear, and you've put real resources behind it.
- You're running an implementation, a rollout or a new process, and you track the process change with KPIs. But you have no window into whether people are actually performing differently. Usually they aren't.
- So most execution risk is invisible until it's too late. Results lag behavior. It can look like you're tracking right up to the point you find out you were quietly underperforming all along.
This is what “culture eats strategy” means in practice.
Most leaders we talk to have done all the things they were told to do, and still feel a piece is missing, the one nobody could quite name. This is that piece: the behaviors that drive the results you're on the hook for. Name them, reinforce them, and you unlock performance your team already has in it.
