Many CEOs try to fix execution with pressure.
But pressure without alignment just creates drag.
I’ve coached hundreds of expansion-stage leaders. The pattern is always the same:
When execution slows, they push harder.
Work longer hours. Add more meetings. Turn up the pressure.
But speed doesn’t come from pressure.
It comes from alignment.
That’s why I built the Physics of Execution.
In physics, force = mass × acceleration.
In business, execution = alignment × energy.
Every leader brings a dominant force to execution:
→ Producers drive results
→ Stabilizers create order
→ Innovators push for change
→ Unifiers hold it all together
When these forces align, velocity takes off.
When they don’t, entropy drags everything down.
This carousel will show you the forces at work inside your team — and why structure, not effort, is the real leverage point.

📌 P.S. Speed isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about pulling in the same direction.
