KPI Fireside: A Continuous Improvement Podcast29 Kesä

Tom Foster on How Accountability Starts With Structure

What if most of your communication breakdowns and personality conflicts aren't people problems at all?

In this episode of KPI Fireside, host Keith Norris sits down with Tom Foster, author, speaker, and longtime business coach to CEOs and senior leaders. Drawing on more than two decades of work with executive peer groups and 800+ deliveries of his organizational structure workshop, Tom makes the case that accountability starts with structure.

🔻 Why communication breakdowns and personality conflicts are almost always structural problems in disguise

🔻 The five organizational life cycle stages and the strategic focus that belongs to each one

🔻 Why delegation is not a time management tool but your most powerful mechanism for growing an organization

🔻 How levels of work and time span help you match the right people to the right decisions

🔻 Why breaking down silos is the wrong goal and what to do instead

🔻 Why hierarchy exists not for reporting but to bring value to problem solving and decision making
