Where plans either turn into progress or stall out.
If there’s one universal frustration for leaders, it’s this:
> “We’re smart people. Why can’t we get this done?”
Patrick Lencioni’s models help explain why execution often breaks down:
Working Genius: good ideas get stuck in the Activation stage (Galvanizing & Discernment) or the Implementation stage (Enablement & Tenacity).
The Advantage: teams drift without a clear thematic goal or weekly cadence to keep it alive.
Five Dysfunctions: without accountability, deadlines slip and results suffer.
👉 This category is for sharing where execution stalls, and how to get momentum back.
🔹 First Question for You
Think of one initiative in your organization right now:
- Where is it stuck — Ideation, Activation, or Implementation?
- What’s the smallest next step that would get it moving again?
Post it here. Chances are, someone else has wrestled with the same bottleneck and can offer a tool, a cadence, or a script that works.
Let’s turn frustration into finished work — together.
