Why this topic matters
Tension often stems from unclear ownership between your team and other functions. It’s amazing how much faster teams move after a focused working session on roles and responsibilities. You’ll likely find agreement on 80% of the items, allowing you to focus on the 20% causing real pain. I regularly help CPOs and CEOs eliminate this friction, now it’s your turn.
