Mandates define performance.
Most companies never reset them.
I work with CEOs, Boards and Private Equity to restore clarity in mandate, authority and decision rights, when execution starts to slow.
In most PE-backed companies, accountability scales faster than authority.
That is where execution begins to slow, long before it shows up in board reports.
The Pattern
CEOs remain accountable, but lose real authority
Decision rights blur across Board and Executive team
Alignment turns into escalation
Execution slows without a clear cause
