What an unfilled leadership role really costs
It rarely looks dramatic at first — but it compounds fast.
Decision paralysis
People wait. Ownership blurs. The wrong work expands.
Momentum loss
Initiatives stall, priorities drift, and timelines slip silently.
Team disengagement
High performers lose faith; politics and reactivity creep in.
Hidden quality decay
Standards drop gradually — and you discover it too late.

How it works
Two goals: keep the business moving now, and make the eventual transition clean.
Track 1: Continuity
Stabilize priorities, unblock decisions,
and protect delivery.
- Align with CEO/leadership on goals, risks, and non-negotiables
- Earn trust fast: key people, pain points, real constraints
- Fix the decision flow: who decides what, how, and when
- Maintain quality + momentum across interfaces
Track 2: Transition
Set the next leader up for success —
not for a minefield.
- Support hiring: role definition, calibration, interviews if needed
- Build a clear “leadership map”: current state, risks, key decisions
- Onboard the new leader with first-hand context
- Ensure a clean handover and stable first weeks
