What if the reason your organisation feels slow… is because leadership has drifted too far from the front line?

Many companies quietly become insular as they grow — calendars fill with meetings, decisions become theoretical, and leaders lose proximity to customers and teams.

In this episode you’ll learn:

1. Why “too many meetings” is often a symptom of lost connection to customers and the front line
2. The 1-in-4 Rule: a simple leadership rhythm to restore front-line bias across your leadership team
3. How CEOs can create an organisation that learns faster because leaders stay connected to real customer experience

Listen now to learn how a small leadership habit can reconnect your organisation to the market and improve the quality of every decision.

New episodes Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
