120VC’s Solutions for Division Presidents & VPs
Execution Leadership for Leaders Accountable to the NumberAs a Division President or VP, you don’t have the luxury of abstraction. You own results, delivery and the P&L. When execution breaks down, it’s not theoretical. It shows up in missed targets, stalled growth, and burned teams. Yet most division leaders are asked to deliver outcomes inside a system they don’t control.
The Real Problem: You Own Results, Not the System
Division leaders live at the sharp edge of execution.
You feel it when:
- Corporate initiatives pile up with unclear value
- Shared services slow delivery instead of accelerating it
- Dependencies multiply across HR, IT, Finance, and the PMO
- Priorities shift faster than teams can respond
- Accountability flows down, but authority doesn’t
You’re measured on outcomes, but surrounded by functions optimized for activity.
That’s what happens when cost centers dictate the pace of the business.
Why “Alignment” Isn’t Enough
Most division leaders are told the same thing:
“Get aligned.”
“Collaborate more.”
“Trust the process.”
But alignment without execution discipline is just agreement without movement.
You don’t need more meetings.
You don’t need another roadmap.
You need a system that makes execution reliable across functions you depend on but don’t control.
The Shift:
From Managing Dependencies to Gaining Leverage
High-performing division leaders operate with an Investor Mindset.
They don’t accept every initiative as a given.
They challenge work that doesn’t return value.
They demand clarity on outcomes before committing resources.
At 120VC, we help division leaders install execution leadership that gives them leverage without politics.
- Work is rationalized before it starts.
- Priorities are visible and shared.
- Trade-offs are made early, not after failure.
- Functions align around outcomes, not requests.
Execution stops being a negotiation.
What Changes When Execution Leadership Is Installed
When execution leadership is in place:
- Dependencies shrink
- Decision cycles accelerate
- Low-value work gets killed
- Teams regain focus and momentum
- Results compound instead of stalling
Division leaders stop pushing uphill.
The system starts pulling with them.
How 120VC Helps Division Leaders Win
We help them execute.
Execution Leadership as a Managed Service
Most division-level pain lives in the portfolio.
We rationalize initiatives before they consume capacity. We align cross-functional work around ROI. We ensure execution supports growth, not noise.
This gives division leaders real leverage over the work that impacts their number.
Enterprise Transformation – Kill the Cost Center™
Shared services only help when they act like partners.
We transform HR, IT, Finance, and the PMO into internal consultancies accountable to outcomes, not activity.
Division leaders stop working around the system and start working with it.
Leadership Team Transformation Coaching
Divisions don’t execute through org charts. They execute through leadership teams.
We coach leadership teams to:
- operate with clarity
- prioritize ruthlessly
- make real trade-offs
- hold each other accountable to outcomes
Execution improves because leadership behavior changes where it matters.
This is for Division Presidents and VPs who
- Are accountable for results, not excuses
- Are frustrated by centralized drag
- Want leverage without political warfare
- Believe execution discipline is leadership
If you own a number, this work is yours.
