If you are serious about the truth, ask yourself:

  • 1 Are we fast or do we just believe we are fast? When was the last time a critical decision was delayed because of internal alignment?
  • 2 If a major crisis hit tomorrow, who would actually lead and how? Is that role structurally defined or personality-dependent?
  • 3 Do we have real alignment or polite agreement? Would each executive describe our top three priorities the same way?
  • 4 Is accountability clear or culturally uncomfortable? When performance drops, do we correct or rationalize?
  • 5 Are we building leaders or protecting current ones? If two key executives left this quarter, are we ready?
