What Leaders Must Do to Prevent Strategy from Failing

Why do great plans fall apart? Why is it that fantastic brainstorming sessions often lead to no results? According Molly St. Louis, the problem lies with lack of follow through.

St. Louis describes that lack of follow through derives from objectives not being clearly defined, lack of alignment, and problems with communication.

These three gaps can be mission critical when it comes to organizational success, and fixing them can be quite the process.
