Stop Chasing Transformations And Start Realigning Your Business

Inside Automotive with Jim Fitzpatrick, powered by CBT News

We explore why big transformations often fail and how small, steady adjustments keep companies aligned with purpose. Geoff Tuff and Steven Goldbach show how CEOs act as chief system designers who shape behavior through management systems, not slogans.
• the honing metaphor and why realignment beats constant sharpening
• addiction to transformation and the cost of ignoring daily details
• challenging the orthodoxy of bold vision as the core of leadership
• CEO as chief system designer of incentives, metrics and decision rights
• behavior as the subatomic particle of business and culture
• working differently, not harder, to reduce fire drills and drift
• partnering with middle managers to co-design systems
• how honing evolves culture by changing what good looks like
• the one takeaway: change behavior to change outcomes
• when true transformations are necessary and how to avoid self-inflicted ones
