Strategy often gets lost between planning and execution.
Often, the gap between planning and execution slows growth and creates missed opportunities.
While the board sets direction, success requires more than just a plan, it needs full alignment and buy-in from leadership and teams to ensure strategy becomes reality.
"If you get the chance to work with Mike, you won’t regret it; just be ready to match his energy!"
