There's a particular moment in senior leadership.
You're clearer than you were about where things need to go. The harder work is still ahead: taking the organisation with you. Aligning the team. Sequencing the decisions. Having the conversations that actually move people.
The space between knowing the direction and the organisation moving on it is where most strategy quietly fails — and where most of my work happens.
I'm Barry Murphy. For over twenty years I led large, complex businesses at PwC, in the UK and internationally. I now work with senior leaders facing exactly this challenge: a direction that's becoming clear, and the real work of landing it.
A conversation, not a sales pitch.
If you're sitting with this and want space to think it through with someone who's been in the seat, I'd be glad to talk.
