Most leaders assume strategy fails because of lack of resources, time or clarity. But there’s a hidden reason that can trip up even the smartest leaders: ignoring the role of intuition.

In this episode of the Quiet Leadership Revolution, executive coach and strategist Juliet Corbett and facilitator, trainer and coach Lucy Gower explore why strategy isn’t just about cognitive processing and analysis.

Together they discuss:

  • Why slowing down is essential if leaders want to hear and trust their intuition
  • How sharpening strategic focus helps cut through noise and competing priorities
  • Why taking action is the only way to test and refine strategy in the real world
  • The traps leaders fall into when they lean too heavily on just one of these areas

Juliet also shares the backstory behind her new Strategic Flow Map - from her early career in strategy consulting to the turning points that reshaped her approach, including Cal Newport’s 'Deep Work', Michael Neill’s 'Inside-Out Understanding' and even some unexpected lessons following breaking her ankle.

Listen in to discover how slowing down, sharpening focus and taking action combine to unlock strategic flow - and why missing one of these steps could be the hidden reason your strategy isn’t working.

Reflection questions

  • What’s one commitment you could release this week to create more space to slow down?
  • If you could only succeed at one thing this quarter, what would it be?
  • What single experiment could move you out of thinking mode into doing mode?
