Why Most Strategies Fall Flat... and What Top Leaders Do Differently
Most strategies fail, not because they’re wrong, but because they’re way too complicated.
In this episode of Building Thinkers, I’m joined by Moss Pike for a conversation that dives into something I see all the time: how we overcomplicate strategy. We unpack what it really looks like to build strategy with clarity, without all the noise that usually surrounds it.
Moss shares what he and his team are navigating right now as they develop a managed services product, and the kinds of thoughtful, forward-looking questions they’re asking, like: What is the true purpose of our office space in this new era of work? And how do we create space for meaningful, non-transactional conversations in a world that moves so fast?
If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in a loop of planning that doesn’t lead to action, or if you’re rethinking how your team works, connects, and delivers value, this episode will give you fresh perspective and practical insight.

More About Building Thinkers:
I'm your host, Tracy Clark, and this is where potential becomes reality through deliberate curiosity, reflection, practice, and play. The Building Thinkers podcast is based on the realization that there's exponential potential in the things we build.
And so, in my little corner of the internet and podcasting land, I want to take my 12 favorite problems, these are my constant curiosities, and I want to go deeper. I want to build thinkers. This is a community of multi-potentialites who may be disoriented by all the possibilities of success we envision but haven't yet achieved.
If any of that sounds like you, come listen in. Welcome to the Building Thinkers podcast.
