The Execution Gap

Why Strong Leaders Fail When Authority Breaks

Execution does not fail because leaders lack skill.

It fails when authority quietly breaks.

At senior levels, many capable executives carry outcomes they cannot control. Decisions reopen. Accountability expands. Mandate shrinks. The work continues, but execution stalls and careers erode without visible failure.

The Execution Gap explains why this happens.

This book is written for CXOs, VPs, and senior operators working close to the seat. It focuses on the structural realities most leadership books avoid: accountability without authority, decision ownership without mandate, parallel power, and the silent drift that undermines execution long before collapse.

This is not a motivational or skills-based leadership book. It is a diagnostic. It gives language and clarity to leaders who already feel the problem but cannot name it.

Readers who want practical diagnostics and decision tools can access a free companion toolkit on the author's website.

This book is for leaders who recognize the problem, not those looking for encouragement.
