In today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world, many worry that by the time a strategy is built, the world will have already moved on and the strategy itself will be outdated before it’s even launched. Many articles explore the idea that the pace of change has outpaced the discipline of strategy—though (spoiler alert) they always circle back around to reaffirm the necessity of strategy.
Through our respective experiences with transformations (Elizabeth leading change from the inside, Brooke accompanying leaders through change from the outside) we’ve reached a similar insight: changing behaviours and improving results comes from a mutually reinforcing integration of strategy and culture.

This episode explores how leaders can overcome misalignment, manage competing priorities, and embrace vulnerability. Host Marianne Wisenthal sits down with behavioral scientist Dr. Brooke Struck to discuss collective leadership, conflict resolution through curiosity, and actionable strategies to unlock team potential and navigate organizational challenges. A must-listen for leaders striving for impact and innovation!
