Your organization is perfectly designed to produce the results it's currently getting.
Let's change the design.

When results disappoint, the reflex is to address behavior — coach harder, restate the vision, replace the person. It feels responsible, and it works for about a quarter. Then the design reasserts itself and the same result returns wearing a different name.
Redesign is slower and far less dramatic. You change what the structure makes easy, who holds the decision, what the calendar protects. Nobody claps. And then the outcome moves without anyone being pushed.

I spent fourteen years inside congregations watching good leaders work themselves flat against outcomes their own structures were quietly guaranteeing. The meetings, the reporting lines, the calendar, the money, who gets asked before a decision is made — that is the design, and the design always wins.
So I stopped asking what is wrong with the people in the room and started tracing the chain backward: from the result nobody wants, to the behavior producing it, to the design rewarding that behavior, to the belief that made the design feel obvious.
You don’t need another generic strategy. You need clarity about what to build, what to change, and how to move forward.
