Does your strategy reach the floor? Find out.

Two free tools for leaders, managers, and coaches who want to act on the ideas in "Bridging Strategy and Execution" by José Ferro and Mark Reich.

Most organizations have a strategy. Far fewer have a reliable way to know whether it is visible in daily work — or whether the leaders running daily huddles have the questions they need to develop their teams rather than simply fix problems. Ferro and Reich argue that this gap is not a communication failure. It is a systems failure: daily management and hoshin kanri must be designed to work together, with leaders actively building that connection. These two tools are designed for the conversation that happens after that argument lands.

What you will receive:

• Strategy-to-Floor Connection Review — A five-question self-assessment that reveals whether the link between your hoshin priorities and daily management metrics is real — or just assumed.

• Leader as Coach Conversation Guide — A facilitation card with specific questions to ask when a problem surfaces, built for leaders who develop problem solvers instead of solving problems on their behalf.

Who these tools are for: Leaders and executives assessing whether strategic intent is translating to frontline action. Line managers and team leaders looking for practical language for daily huddles and coaching conversations. Lean practitioners and coaches facilitating leadership team workshops or supporting managers in development.
