Most strategic plans don’t fail because the plan is bad. They fail because execution breaks down in the first 90 days.
In this session with the Ask a Chief of Staff community, Brooks Busch (Co-Founder & CEO, Elate) and Shannon Keedy (Director, Solutions Consulting) unpack what actually causes the “execution gap” between a well-built plan and real-world follow-through.
You’ll learn the three most common pitfalls teams fall into after kickoff, plus practical ways to build an operating rhythm that keeps priorities visible, accountability real, and leadership meetings focused on decisions (not status theater).
What you’ll learn
- Why the first 90 days are the make-or-break window for execution
- The 3 pitfalls that derail plans early (and how to spot them fast)
- How to structure leadership meetings around decisions and course correction
- A simple status update format that improves clarity and reduces chaos
- How Chiefs of Staff can drive alignment and momentum across the organization
Watch the recording to walk away with a clear, repeatable rhythm you can implement immediately, even if your strategy is already in motion.
