Execution drift: how to turn strategy into daily action. Dr Mike Ashby
“Execution is done daily. The long mile to the goal is a series of steps.”
Ryan Castle talks with Mike Ashby (Level 10 Leaders) about execution drift: the gap between strategy and what actually gets done once everyone is back in the day to day.
They unpack why plans stall (inertia, missed deadlines, “perfect conditions” thinking) and why execution is a daily behaviour, not a quarterly spreadsheet. Mike shares a simple 3 part fix: upskill managers to create time and headspace, coach in the workflow to break inertia, and build visible accountability so daily actions match the plan.
