Episode Summary: From Vision to Execution – Red Flags & Self-Assessment (Part 2)Hosts: Scott Landis & Jeff JacobSponsored by: Business Freedom Advisors
In Part 2 of our Vision and Strategic Thinking series, Scott and Jeff move from philosophy to practice.
If Mission is your why, Vision is your preferred future, and Strategy is the bridge that gets you there — how do you know if they’re actually working?
In this episode, we unpack the red flags that signal unclear or unhealthy vision, including:
When your team can’t clearly articulate where the company is headed
When every quarter feels like a reset instead of a continuation
When big long-term dreams aren’t translated into focused 90-day action
When your calendar is packed with operations but leaves no room for strategic thinking
Scott and Jeff explore how founders drift into operational overload, why your calendar reveals your real priorities, and how clarity creates powerful decision filters.
They also walk you through a simple 1–10 Executive Performance self-assessment covering:
Future picture clarity (90 days, 1 year, 3 years)
Protected strategic thinking time
Decision alignment with mission and long-term direction
If you score low in any area, that’s not failure — it’s a scaling constraint waiting to be strengthened.
Inside the TriMetric framework, Vision and Strategic Thinking sit at the foundation of Executive Performance. When clarity is weak, the organization feels it long before the numbers reflect it.
The founder’s first job isn’t activity. It’s clarity.
