If you build strategy alone, don’t be surprised if no one follows.
Too often, leaders lock themselves away in meeting rooms or strategy sessions, convinced that only their perspective can shape the future. The result? A plan that looks polished on paper but lacks the heartbeat of the team who must carry it forward.
