Why do teams stall even when everyone knows what to do?

Kurt Luidhardt sits down with Jerri Ann Jensen, founder of COSMO Advantage, to explore why execution often breaks down long after the strategy is set.

Teams can have clear goals, defined roles, and capable people in place, yet results still lag. The obvious explanation works for a while, until the same problems keep showing up.

Jerri Ann says that many leaders are diagnosing the wrong layer. A story from her own family brings that pattern into focus and shows how quickly the conversation changes when the real issue gets named.

From there, the discussion turns to the same tension inside organizations, where resistance stays hidden, alignment gets overstated, and performance problems are blamed on everything except the thing underneath them.

This episode is for business leaders trying to understand why execution keeps breaking, even when the plan looks solid.
