The Real Reason You’re Not Executing on What Matters


The Behaviour Shift

Thought-leadership and insights about your people

Linkedin newsletter


You’ve done the workshops. Filled the notebooks. Highlighted the leadership books and nodded through the podcasts. But despite all that insight, things aren’t shifting the way they should. Sound familiar?

This is what we call the execution gap—the space between what you know and what you consistently do. And it’s more common than you think, especially in high-performing environments.

In this LinkedIn newsletter, I unpack why so many leaders remain stuck in the loop of “I know what I should be doing, but I’m not doing it.”

The truth is, it’s rarely a knowledge issue. It’s a discipline issue.

We explore why motivation alone is unreliable, why your brain resists discomfort even when growth depends on it, and how the illusion of progress can become your biggest trap. Most importantly, I break down how to start closing that gap. No full life overhaul needed.

It starts with simplifying your focus, anchoring new behaviours in routine (not emotion), and developing a rhythm of reflection and repetition. This is how lasting change is built. Not through hype, but through consistency.

If you lead teams or drive strategy in your organisation, this article is a must-read.

Because when execution lags at the top, it cascades downward impacting performance, culture, and ultimately results. The leaders who win are those who build the muscle of discipline, not just the mindset of intention.
