The Resolution
What Actually Restores Execution
In every successful operational reset I’ve seen, recovery followed the same principles:
- Not heroic effort.
- Not perfect plans.
- Not endless alignment.
But clarity, momentum, and trust — rebuilt deliberately.
- Reduce the problem before you solve it
- Focus on the few constraints that matter
- Create small, visible wins to restore belief
- Protect good judgement at the point of execution
Momentum changes behaviour faster than consensus.
When people see leaders cut through noise, act decisively, and support ownership, execution accelerates — often without any formal restructure at all.
Pressure doesn’t require more control. It requires better leadership where the work actually happens.
