Drive Executive Accountability and Performance
Many CEOs avoid direct performance conversations with senior leaders because the relationships are important and the stakes are high. Avoidance turns small gaps into entrenched patterns, and the team learns that the standard is negotiable. Executive accountability works when expectations are explicit, coaching is regular, data is visible, and difficult feedback happens close to the moment it matters.
