Shared Strategic Insights for Leaders

Use these guided prompts not just for reflection—but to spark immediate action in peer sessions, team check-ins, or personal planning.

Organizational Readiness
  • What signals tell you your team is (or isn’t) ready for this shift? → Write down 3 observable indicators this week.
  • Where are the biggest knowledge, resourcing, or mindset gaps? → Assign one owner to close each gap.
  • What would 80% readiness look like—and is that enough to proceed? → Set a “go/no-go” threshold with your team.
Capital & Metric Clarity
  • What’s your most critical capital constraint or unlock right now? → List 2 actions to improve liquidity or access.
  • Do your current metrics match your actual business decisions? → Audit 3 key KPIs and realign if needed.
  • Where do you need better financial visibility or alignment? → Schedule a finance review or build a new dashboard.
Strategic Decision Alignment
  • What decision are you sitting on right now—and why? → Set a 48-hour deadline to decide.
  • Which team member or peer could help pressure-test it with you? → Book a 30-minute review session.
  • If you fast-forward 90 days, what outcome would signal it was the right call? → Define 1 measurable success metric.
Peer Insight Exchange Prompts
  • What’s one challenge you’ve been avoiding—and what’s at stake if you don’t address it? → Commit to raising it in your next peer session.
  • What’s one insight or learning you wish others could benefit from right now? → Document it in 5 sentences and share it this week.
