Ep237 Stuart Wachs - Uncover the Hidden Alignment Gaps and Build a Team That Executes

Are you surrounded by talented people but still struggling to turn strategy into results?

In this episode of Get Unstuck & On Target, host Mike O'Neill sits down with Stuart Wachs, founder of Impact Group, who spent more than two decades in the CEO seat leading turnarounds and scaling organizations across both the for-profit and nonprofit sectors. Stuart doesn't separate strategy from culture — he's seen firsthand how they rise or fall together, and he brings the practitioner's perspective that most leadership conversations are missing.

Stuart and Mike get practical fast, covering what a truly aligned leadership team actually looks like, where ownership breaks down even with talented people around the table, and what leaders can do this week to start closing the gap between where they are and where they intend to go.

Three key topics to look out for:

• The function chart exercise that exposes exactly who owns what — and what it means when nobody does
• Why people-centric leadership falls apart when leaders don't visibly live it themselves
• The one conversation your leadership team should have this week to move from activity to real alignment
