Why do good strategies collapse during leadership transitions in most organisations?

The strategy did not fail because it was wrong. It failed because the leader left.

I remember conducting several sessions with EXCO and the board where we had spent eight months refining a sharp, coherent strategy that aligned capital allocation, talent priorities, and market positioning with brutal clarity, and within six months of a new CEO taking over, the same organisation was “reviewing direction,” pausing key projects, and quietly dismantling the very execution disciplines that had started to produce results.

Nothing external had changed, the market was stable, the product was competitive and he numbers were holding.

“Mustapha, I want to grab coffee with you, which day are you free… we have a problem, but I cannot say it in the boardroom. And no one is bringing it up.”

The message came from a senior leader in a company that had just announced record profits, glowing margins, and what the chairman proudly called “our most stable year yet,” which is precisely why I took the meeting seriously, because in my experience real distress rarely announces itself during a crisis, it whispers during success.

We met at a quiet café, not far from the office tower whose glass façade reflected nothing but confidence, and before he touched his coffee he leaned forward and said something that most directors would dismiss as trivial: “The engineers have stopped arguing.”
