The reason your team didn’t follow your plan - and what to do

You gave your team the full picture: the research, the roadmap, the direction. They said they were on board. Then nothing moved. In this episode, Lia Garvin breaks down the gap between strategy and implementation, why it's the most expensive gap on any team, and what it actually looks like to bridge it.
In this episode you will learn:
Why giving your team a clear strategy isn't enough to get anyone to follow it
The difference between knowing what to do and actually internalizing, owning, and doing it
What the behaviors on the surface, the quiet team member, the recurring detail miss, the title question every week, are often actually telling you
Why AI has made the strategy side faster and the implementation gap wider
What implementation looks like in practice: the conversation, the system, the communication
