And my guest today is Julie Williamson, the CEO of the Karrikins Group, a business consulting firm that is catalyzing growth, driving revenue and transforming organizations through aligned leadership action. Julie, welcome to the show. Thank you so much, Steve. I'm so glad to be here. So, this show is really special because I think you're going to highlight something which is like a white spot or a blind spot or a white area in strategic planning. So, we're going to get to it in a moment, but let's start with your personal “Why” and what you are doing to manifest it in your life and in your business. Yeah, absolutely. I'm obsessed with closing the gap between agreement and alignment. In a strategy language, that might be the space between strategy and execution. How do we not just agree that things are a good idea, but actually move into action and start doing them in a way that creates meaningful change for ourselves, for our organizations, or for our clients? Okay. So it sounds like this wasn't the first time that you said these things. Yeah, I'm very committed to this work, I'll say that. Okay, well, it definitely rolled off your tongue. Okay, so the “Why” is to create organizational change, to create the connection between alignment, strategy and alignment? Well, I think, yeah, also, as I think, Steve, we have this idea called the failure gap and people fall in the failure gap when they agree that something is a good idea, but they don't then go take action on it. An example I just gave the other day is, I really wanted to learn how to speak Spanish before I went on a trip to Patagonia. I thought that would be nice. I had a whole year to do it. I agreed that it was a great idea. I had a great “Why.” I wanted to be able to talk in the local culture, but I never did it. I never moved into alignment. I never changed my mindset, my habits, my organizational factors, which you might talk about in a business, but my kind of environmental factors personally to make it happen, so I agreed that it was a great idea to learn a new language. But I did not align. I was in the failure gap and I took off for my trip and I used Google Translate the whole time. We all struggle with this idea of agreeing that something is a good idea and moving into action around it. And so why do I do what I do? It's to help myself, my team, and all of our clients move past the failure gap and get to where they're activating and aligning to the work that they need to do. Okay, so that's a good segue to the third leg of the stool or the side of the pyramid, whatever you want to call it. Well, actually, you call it the Karrikins Diamond Triangle, right? That's your framework. So how do you connect the “Why” and the what to the third side of the triangle? Yeah, I love that you're bringing that up, Steve. I appreciate it. The diamond triangle is our framework for thinking about you need to know what you're going to do. It's very important. Strategy work is important. I love doing strategy work. You need to know why you're doing it, your mission, your vision, your values, whatever that might be. I think for us, what we see with our clients, and, by the way,

In the latest episode of Thought Leadership Leverage, Peter Winick chats with Julie Williamson, CEO of The Karrikins Group. Julie is a trailblazer in connecting communication, design, strategy, sales, marketing, and service to drive sustainable growth. Julie shares her unconventional journey into thought leadership. Despite her passion for writing and English, she opted for a degree in Information Systems during the 80s, a time when women in tech were rare. This path gave her a unique vantage point, blending technical, business, and social insights, which she now leverages to help organizations grow and innovate. Julie describes her ideal client as a "frustrated leader." She excels in enhancing team performance, combining business acumen, tech background, and social science to foster organizational communication and cohesion. Her focus is on "Leadership Alignment," ensuring teams outperform individually. Julie's approach involves both publications and hands-on consulting, emphasizing that true transformation requires sustained engagement, not just quick fixes. Her team typically works with clients for 3 to 12 months to catalyze real change. To develop and deploy thought leadership, Julie regularly creates short-form content on platforms like LinkedIn and Forbes Expert Panels. She believes in the discipline of consistent content creation to hone her voice and impact. Addressing the challenges of linking thought leadership to business results, Julie acknowledges the difficulty in measuring the direct impact of her work. Her strategy focuses on continuous contribution to leadership effectiveness, ensuring her insights make a tangible difference. Three Key Takeaways: • Leadership Alignment: Julie Williamson emphasizes the  importance of aligning leadership to enhance team performance. By fostering strong organizational communication and cohesion, aligned teams can achieve greater results than individuals working alone. • Sustained Engagement for Transformation: True change within organizations requires sustained effort. Julie's approach involves long-term engagements (3 to 12 months) rather than one-off workshops, ensuring lasting transformation and meaningful impact. • Consistent Content Creation: To develop and deploy effective thought leadership, Julie advocates for regular content creation. She underscores the necessity of disciplined, consistent efforts in writing and sharing insights, which helps in refining one's voice and maximizing impact. Julie understands what it takes to bring teams into alignment for better success.  When it comes to Thought Leadership Peter Winick knows how to bring Strategy, Tactics and Goals into alignment.

Have you ever felt like a broken record with your team? Do you find yourself repeating the agency's goals and vision, only to be met with glazed-over expressions? Have you effectively communicated the agency's direction and vision? It's a common struggle for agency owners to feel they're desperately trying to rally the troops behind a unified purpose, yet somehow missing that elusive "click" of genuine understanding and buy-in. Today's guest is a specialist in the art of leadership alignment and how to foster authentic goal comprehension that permeates every level of your organization. Learn how leaders can achieve authentic goal understanding by talking, not just telling, and invest in aligning their teams to the business's direction for success. Julie Williamson is the managing partner at The Karrikins Group, a small boutique consultancy focused on helping leaders align and deliver on shared goals. She discusses the need for clear and easy-to-articulate goals, highlighting that repetition does not equate to clarity, and stresses the importance of engaging in productive conversations with team members to ensure understanding and alignment. In this episode, we'll discuss: Fostering authentic goal understanding among your agency team. Making sure the path toward the goal is clear. Navigating trade-offs and unified execution with your team. Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio How Leaders Can Foster Understanding of Agency Goals As a specialist particularly interested in executive engagement, Julie works with business owners that are having a hard time aligning with their teams to pursue a common goal. It could happen that they haven't really defined said goals but often business owners make the mistake of assuming that clarity is measured in volume – the more they repeat or emphasize a goal, the more likely their team will understand and align with it. However, this is not how alignment works. This approach often falls short because it fails to engage employees in productive conversations that help them truly grasp the goals and their significance. One of the things she encourages in these cases is to talk, not tell, when it comes to setting and communicating goals. Leaders need to invest in meaningful conversations with team members to ensure they not only understand the goals but also feel connected to them on a personal level. By involving employees in discussions about the goals, leaders can help them internalize the objectives and understand the impact of their work on achieving them. One of the key aspects of engaging in these conversations, as Julie explains, is ensuring that team members can articulate the goals in their own words and understand the underlying drivers behind them. This deeper level of understanding will allow them to make informed decisions and choices that align with the shared outcomes. Bridging Individual Roles to the Overarching Purpose To ensure each team member understands and works towards a common goal there must be consistency in how every member is contributing to the overall goal.  Just because the goal is clear it doesn't guarantee that the way to the goal is clear. Each individual may have a different perspective on how to achieve the goal based on their role and responsibilities within the organization. Therefore, leaders must clearly articulate the goal and ensure everyone understands what it means in the context of their own work. Otherweise, different employees may end up having their own interpretations of thegoal and behave differently in moments when they need to use their discretionary decision-making skills.   To address this challenge, leaders must create a shared understanding of the goal and how each individual's efforts contribute to it. This can be achieved through open communication, collaboration, and a clear alignment of roles and responsibilities. By fostering a culture of teamwork and shared purpose, organizations can ensure that everyone is working towards a common goal in a coordinated and effective manner. Empowering Leaders to Navigate Trade-Offs and Unified Execution As a leader, try to look for people who share your core values because this is how to find the ones you don't have to manage once you communicate the overall goals. This can be especially challenging once you start to scale. As you start hiring more people and getting more and more degrees of separation from the senior management, focus on building better leaders. Invest as much in building leaders as in building technical skills because as your agency grows. You need strong leaders who can guide and inspire their teams towards achieving the core goals and growing in the same direction. One of the key strategies Julie has been implementing is to encourage leaders to talk about trade-offs. Leaders often make decisions without fully understanding the trade-offs involved, which can impact the overall success of the organization. Even if they don't fully realize it, leaders are making trade-offs with every decision they make; it may be profits vs. revenue, long term vs. short term, or reliability and predictability vs. variability and risk. Help your up and coming leaders understand the trade-offs and how to voice them because you may find their idea of what the trade-offs is different than the one you have.
