S1E14 - Clarity Isn’t Communication – Why Your Message Still Isn’t Landing
In this episode of Leadership Matters, Glenn Price and Terry Reynolds dive into the first of two amplifiers that sit across all 12 execution drivers: clarity and communication. They explore why most leaders mistake “communicating” for “being clear” — and why people don’t actually want more emails or town halls, but simple, human messages that tell them what’s happening, why it matters, and what they need to do differently.Glenn and Terry unpack the difference between broadcasting and true clarity. Leaders often tick the communication box, but behaviour inside the business reveals the truth: people heard the message, but didn’t understand it. They discuss why clarity is the ultimate leadership discipline — harder than strategy, harder than planning — because it demands decisions, simplicity and the courage to cut the jargon. They also talk about the power of BLUF (bottom line up front), creating feedback loops, and helping leaders interpret strategy in real terms for their teams.

S1E15 - Energy & Visibility – Leaders Set the Temperature
In this episode of Leadership Matters, Glenn and Terry unpack the second amplifier that cuts through every part of the Vision to Results framework: energy and visibility. Visibility isn’t about being seen—it’s about how people feel after spending time with you. And energy isn’t hype or noise—it’s the emotional currency that fuels belief, momentum and progress.Together they explore how leaders unintentionally drain or elevate their teams, why “busy” is not a leadership strategy, how hybrid work changes the game, and why visibility of progress matters just as much as visibility of the leader.The final provocation: If your people’s energy mirrored yours this week, what would they look like?

S1E16 - The Final Truths Behind Vision to Results
In this final episode of Leadership Matters, Glenn wraps the series by pulling together the hard-won truths behind why great strategies so often fail in execution. Leaders don’t usually fall short because the vision is wrong—they fail because the work between the vision and the result is overlooked, rushed or assumed.Glenn unpacks the real reasons execution breaks down: unclear roles, weak alignment, a lack of emotional buy-in, and leaders mistaking communication for clarity. He also reveals the big truth—strategy succeeds or stalls based on the leader’s ability to inspire, engage and set the tone.Bringing the 12-driver Vision to Results framework full circle, this episode reminds leaders that execution is both rational and emotional, and that sustained motivation is never a box to tick. If you want your strategy to land, stick and deliver, this is the episode to finish on.

S1E13 - Co-Elevation – Beyond Collaboration to Lifting Each Other Higher
In this final driver of the Vision to Results framework, Glenn Price and Terry Reynolds explore the idea of co-elevation — the step beyond collaboration that separates competent teams from truly high-performing ones. For years the model used “collaboration” as the twelfth driver, until they realised collaboration often just means sharing the work. Co-elevation is something very different. It’s when leaders actively lift each other, tap into one another’s strengths, and collectively raise the performance of the organisation, creating the kind of momentum where one plus one genuinely becomes three.Throughout the episode, Glenn and Terry unpack why staying in your swim lane limits progress, and why the best teams think like business leaders first and technical specialists second. They explore how trust, vulnerability and positive intent underpin co-elevation, and share real examples of executive teams who walk into meetings as “the leadership team”, not as heads of separate functions. They also lean into the importance of honest, in-the-room conversations, where challenge is seen as a contribution, not a threat.You’ll hear practical guidance on how to lead across as well as down, how to make peer-to-peer challenge normal, how to reward wins that cross boundaries, and how choosing to trust quickly can create remarkable speed across the whole organisation.

S1E12 - Accountability – From Punishment to Ownership
For many leaders, “accountability” still sounds like blame: Who dropped the ball? Who’s at fault? In this episode of Leadership Matters, Glenn Price and Terry Reynolds flip that thinking on its head.Drawing on the Vision to Results framework, they unpack why true accountability isn’t punishment from the top, but ownership from within. They explore the difference between responsibility (your job description) and accountability (your personal choice to own the outcome), and why so many executive teams demand accountability from others while quietly avoiding it themselves.Glenn and Terry dive into:Why holding people “to account” without clarity of expectations and measures kills performanceHow regular, well-designed check-ins can build ownership without creating a culture of fearThe power of collective accountability, where peers call each other up, not just outHow language (“check on” vs “check in with”) shapes whether people feel policed or supportedYou’ll also hear four practical ways to build a culture of real accountability—starting with leaders modelling extreme ownership in public, not just demanding it in private.
