Cohere Leadership Group is where Julian’s work on coherence under pressure becomes a practical operating standard for executive teams.
When leadership fragments, the business pays
High-stakes moments — M&A, reorgs, earnings misses, executive exits — expose the gap between what leaders say and do. The higher the stakes, the faster it shows.
Decisions slow down — no one’s sure what the team would say no to.
The message changes by room — board, team, customer.
Trust turns into surveillance.
of executives are likely to leave within two years; 27% within six months because of trust and cohesion issues.
Pressure doesn't create fragmentation. It exposes it.
Recognize your team in two or more? It's time.
What the CEO sees
Board hears one answer, the org hears another.
Big decisions stall.
Offsite landed — six weeks later, nothing changed.
Senior leaders quietly leaving.
A reorg or earnings call is coming, team not aligned.
What the CHRO sees
Walk-the-talk” scores slipping.
Pulse comments: “mixed messages.”
Same trust patterns in exit interviews.
Programs rated well, but behavior doesn't change.
Thin succession bench.
Different dashboards. Same root cause: executive fragmentation.
