How We Work

THE 120VC EXECUTION LEADERSHIP SYSTEM

Most leadership teams don’t fail for lack of talent or effort, they fail without a leadership system connecting leadership intent to daily execution, and this one has delivered a 98% success rate and 227% better performance over 25 years of enterprise transformation.

What is the Execution Leadership System (ELS)

The ELS is the leadership operating standard that aligns your entire organization around a single truth:

Vision drives behavior. Behavior drives outcomes. If you want different outcomes, you don’t start with tools or frameworks you shift the vision → which shifts the behavior → which shifts the results.

ELS operationalizes that shift.

It gives your leaders and teams a complete system that defines:

How decisions get made
How leaders lead
How teams execute
How the organization stays aligned

All anchored to the only outcome that matters:

Measurable Improves Customer Satisfaction.
Team Satisfaction. Profitability.
(And none at the expense of the others.)

This is the Get Shift Done approach a unified belief + behavior + execution system designed to produce measurable ROI, not more activity.

The 3 Pillars Decision-Making Guardrail

This is the foundation.

If a piece of work, a meeting, an initiative, or a request doesn’t measurably improve the Three Pillars: Customer Satisfaction. Team Satisfaction. Profitability – none at the expense of the others, it doesn’t get done.

This guardrail:

Eliminates noise
Neutralizes politics
Exposes low-value work instantly
Creates organizational clarity and purpose
Aligns every decision to outcomes, not opinions

It ensures the vision is clear, so the behaviors are intentional, and the outcomes compound.

This is how teams stop drifting into burnout-busy and start acting like disciplined execution teams.

The Execution Leadership Flywheel

ELS includes a behavioral operating system for leaders – the Flywheel – which builds leadership capability that scales execution.

Leaders grow through five Multiplier behaviors:

Talent Magnet

Attract and grow people aligned to the vision

Liberator

Remove friction and give teams the clarity to move

Challenger

Demand rigor, logic, and higher standards

Debate Maker

Drive alignment before action

Investor

Ensure all actions produce measurable ROI

As these behaviors mature, leaders stop managing effort and start multiplying outcomes across the business.

This is how the system sustains itself.

The Execution Layer

Where Belief Becomes Behavior and Behavior Becomes Result

The Execution Leadership System puts into action the Three Pillars + Vision-Behavior-Outcomes and converts it into daily operational discipline that delivers:

Clarity of Intent
Every action is tied to a clearly articulated outcome aligned to the Three Pillars.
No ambiguity. No assumptions.
Everyone knows why the work matters and what success looks like before it starts.
Operational Discipline
This is the system that eliminates drift.
Teams create written plans, prioritize intentionally, challenge waste, and commit to plans they can actually deliver.
Discipline replaces heroics.
Consistency replaces chaos.
Relentless Execution
Execution is measured by outcomes, not activity.
Teams progress work daily, surface blockers immediately, and maintain momentum with time-blocked priorities and transparent workflows.
This is where “getting shift done” becomes the norm.
Engineered Trust
Trust is not a vibe; it is the result of a system that makes expectations clear, work visible, and commitments explicit.
When everything is transparent and disciplined, accountability becomes the culture and the team accelerates together.

What the Leadership System installs

(and Why It Matters)

Multiplier behaviors become operational by installing:

Clear, rationalized priorities
Written alignment instead of verbal hope
Time-blocked weekly and daily plans
Radical visibility of progress and blockers
Team operating agreements
Accountability built into the workflow

The result?

A leadership system replaces burnout-busy with intentionality. It eliminates guesswork, drift, reactive work, and hidden blockers. Teams know exactly what matters, why it matters, what’s next, and what good looks like.

It’s the engine that turns alignment into traction and traction into momentum helping teams stop surviving the week and start delivering outcomes predictably, consistently, and together.

The Operating Rhythm

Finally, ELS defines the rituals that keep the entire system tight and consistent:

Weekly alignment and prioritization
Daily transparency without extra meetings
Monthly outcome reviews tied to the
Three Pillar Quarterly portfolio rationalization
Role clarity and shared execution agreements

This rhythm prevents backsliding. It keeps the system alive, visible, and operational every day instead of becoming “another transformation deck.”

This is how shifts become habits.
How habits become culture.
And how culture becomes capability.

HOW IT WORKS

Most organizations chase leadership heroics, motivation, or new tools, but as James Clear says, people don’t rise to the level of their goals, they fall to the level of their systems which is why we don’t just train leaders and hope behavior changes later, we diagnose reality and install an Execution Leadership System that makes disciplined leadership inevitable.

Why it changes everything

The Executon Leadership System solves the execution gap companies feel but rarely articulate:

You don’t need more frameworks. You need a unified system that aligns vision → behavior → outcomes.

With ELS:

Everyone knows what matters
Leaders behave in ways that scale performance
Teams execute with discipline
Work becomes rationalized
Outcomes improve consistently
Execution becomes your competitive advantage

This is how organizations get shift done on purpose, with purpose.
