Leaders First: Because Strategy Fails
Where People Resist.

The Hard Truth

 Frame 1000003584 (4) 70 – 84% of transformation efforts fall short.
 Frame 1000003584 (4) 

Only 17% of executives feel their organisations can execute big change.

 Frame 1000003584 (4) 

Root cause in most cases? Insufficient leadership alignment and cultural readiness-not technology gaps.

 Frame 1000003584 (4) Projects stall when managers don’t champion, teams don’t trust, and boards don’t see the “why.” Gradion’s Management & Leadership Development practice ensures the people who steer the ship are equipped to navigate turbulence.
