About the Webinar
You set targets. You give direction. Yet, results remain inconsistent.
Many CEOs face the same quiet problem. The people in charge are not pulling their weight. Not because they are not trying, but because they are in the wrong roles.
The signs are often subtle. Some leadership decisions feel off. Teams are busy but not productive. Projects stall without a clear reason. You begin to question if the right people are leading the right work.
This webinar will help you understand how misfit at the top affects business performance. You will learn why this issue is hard to spot early, and how to approach it without damaging working relationships or morale.
Why Attend?
Many leadership teams are struggling quietly. Targets are missed, execution is slow, and decisions lack follow-through. The root cause is often not strategy, but the people driving it.
This webinar will help you identify where leadership misalignment may be holding your organisation back. It will provide clear thinking on how to assess executive performance, address gaps without disruption, and strengthen leadership accountability.
If you are responsible for driving business results through others, this session will give you the clarity and direction needed to make better decisions about the people leading your business.
If you lead a business or work with those who do, this conversation matters.
What You'll Learn:
- How to spot leadership misfit beyond performance reviews
