Most teams I talk to are missing at least one.

And here's what I keep seeing: It's not that the work isn't getting done. It's that nobody's sure what the work is for.

You hire smart people and you give them tools, budget, time. But if the lane isn't clearβ€”if "good" isn't definedβ€”if nobody owns the final callβ€”then execution just amplifies the confusion.

The problem was never effort. It was direction.

And most people I work with don't have enough distance from the day-to-day to see it clearlyβ€”or someone senior enough to make those calls without second-guessing.


Do we have clarity on:

  • Who we’re talking to (and who we’re not)

  • What we’re actually selling

  • What β€œsuccess” looks like this quarter

  • What we’re willing to stop doing

  • Who owns the final call

If more than two of those boxes are empty, you don't have an execution problem.
β†’ You're missing the decision layer.


Sometimes that's an internal fix.
Sometimes it's a capacity issueβ€”you're too close, or too busy, or too deep in it to see clearly.
That's usually where fractional leadership shows up.

Not to do more work.
To make the calls that let the work actually matter.
