The strategy was clear.
The execution plan was sharp.
Leadership was aligned.
So why wasn’t it working?
That’s what the CEO asked us six weeks into launching a new growth initiative.
Sales were slow.
Ops was stretched thin.
And employee frustration was quietly growing.
🔍 The Missing Piece: Role Alignment
We ran a quick check on the org chart using Predictive Index behavioral data.
Within minutes, the problem came into focus:
-
The new initiative demanded urgency, external drive, and high risk tolerance.
-
The team assigned to it? Thoughtful, cautious, process-oriented — and wired to minimize risk.
It wasn’t about capability.
It was about fit.
They weren’t built to run this play.
🧠 What We Showed Them
Using PI insights, we mapped:
✅ The behavioral demands of the strategic initiative
✅ The wiring of the current team
✅ The gaps in drive, pace, and focus
Then we worked backward — not from the org chart, but from the outcome they needed.
🧩 What Changed
-
One key player was reassigned to a role better matched to their wiring
-
A new role was defined and filled to lead the initiative with energy and focus
-
The CEO stopped trying to “coach around” the problem — and redesigned the team to match the strategy
📈 The Results
💬 The Lesson
Even the best strategy won’t work if your team isn’t wired to run it.
When strategy shifts, roles must flex.
And that starts with understanding how your people are naturally built to work.
