When successful leaders and organisations start failing quietly
Organisations often begin to fail quietly. Performance still looks strong and leadership appears aligned, yet decisions slow, tensions repeat, and misalignment goes unspoken. This is rarely about competence. More often, it reflects identity and purpose lagging behind organisational reality. Leaders grow into larger roles faster than their self-understanding adapts, and organisations hold on to narratives that no longer match behaviour. The result is a gradual loss of coherence that remains invisible until performance finally suffers.
