The meeting went well. Two weeks later, nothing moved.
Everyone agreed.
The strategy made sense.
There was real momentum in the room.
And then—
Work overlaps.
Ownership is unclear.
Someone says, “I thought we already decided this.”
So the team circles back.
Revisits the same decision.
And progress quietly stalls.
This isn't a strategy problem.
It's a traction problem.
And in most cases, it’s not about the quality of the people or the thinking.
It’s about the conditions that determine whether decisions actually turn into coordinated action.
