Every leader has a vision. Not every leader turns it into reality. In this kickoff episode of Leadership Matters, Glenn Price and Terry Reynolds lift the curtain on the Vision to Results (VTR) framework—25 years of hard-won strategy and leadership wisdom distilled into something you can actually use on Monday morning. From the young leader who feared being fired to the global teams nailing both performance and culture, this episode explores the surprisingly simple balance of rational structur...
Most vision statements sound great on a poster… and do absolutely nothing in real life. In this episode of Leadership Matters, Glenn Price and Terry Reynolds get brutally honest about why most visions fall flat — and what separates a real rallying cry from corporate wallpaper. They unpack why leaders play it safe, why courage (not committees) creates compelling visions, and why the CEO must be the Chief Reminder Officer, not the Chief Delegator to Comms. From ambition and purpose to identity ...
Everyone loves the word strategy… until they realise it means saying “no” to things. In this episode of Leadership Matters, Glenn Price and Terry Reynolds cut through the corporate noise to expose why most “strategies” are really just oversized to-do lists disguised in PowerPoint. They unpack the courage it takes to choose, the danger of rewarding busyness over progress, and the magic that happens when a team aligns around just three or four genuinely strategic bets. From drowning the puppy (...
Everyone loves to say, “We just need more alignment.” Few know what it actually means. In this episode of Leadership Matters, Glenn Price and Terry Reynolds dismantle the myth that head-nodding equals buy-in — and expose the dirty yeses, polite pretence, and silent dissent that quietly sabotage execution. They dive into why true alignment requires healthy debate (and a bit of conflict), why cascading messages rarely works, and why leaders must be intentional — especially in hybrid workplaces ...
People don’t work for companies – they work for experiences. In this episode of Leadership Matters, Glenn Price and Terry Reynolds explore why execution lives or dies on how it feels to work in your organisation, not just on the quality of your strategy deck. They unpack the tight link between leader behaviour, employee experience and customer experience, why “talent magnets” feel different the moment you walk in, and how purpose, autonomy and everyday leadership moments shape whether people ...
You can’t PowerPoint people into believing you. In this episode of Leadership Matters, Glenn Price and Terry Reynolds tackle believability – the often-missing link between a clever strategy and actual execution. They unpack why leaders rush to push accountability before they’ve built belief, the difference between hope and genuine confidence, and how silent cynicism creeps in long before people stop showing up. From owning mistakes and adjusting the “how”, to building trust through consistenc...
You can squeeze performance out of people for a while. But if the work isn’t desirable, it won’t last. In this episode of Leadership Matters, Glenn Price and Terry Reynolds dive into the secret sauce of sustained execution: turning obligation into enthusiasm. They explore how leaders shift teams from “I have to do this” to “I actually want to do this”, even when the goals are rational, numeric or a bit dull on paper. From creating the right environment, to connecting purpose to performance, d...
Most org charts are built for control, not speed. In this episode of Leadership Matters, Glenn Price and Terry Reynolds dig into structure as the first execution driver – and why “restructure” shouldn’t automatically mean “someone’s losing their job”. They explore how great leaders design structure after strategy (not around personalities and legacy boxes), why unclear decision rights kill momentum, and how to shorten the distance between customer insight and action. From post-it-note org cha...
“If you don’t resource it, you don’t believe it.” In this episode of Leadership Matters, Glenn Price and Terry Reynolds dig into the brutally simple truth that your real priorities are revealed by where the money, time and people actually go – not what’s printed in the slide deck. They explore why leaders under-resource big goals and hope sheer effort will fill the gap, how chronic under-resourcing quietly drives burnout and cynicism, and why leadership itself is one of the most misunderstood...
Everyone’s got a plan… until it’s time to do the work. In this episode of Leadership Matters, Glenn Price and Terry Reynolds unpack why so many action plans look brilliant in PowerPoint but disappear in the chaos of “business as usual”. They explore the difference between activity and outcome, why fluffy ownership (“the ELT will own this…”) kills execution, and how rhythm, cadence and clear measures turn a plan into a living roadmap instead of spreadsheet decoration. From fortnightly strategy...
Most organisations treat development like an HR project. Glenn Price and Terry Reynolds disagree—strongly. In this episode of Leadership Matters, they unpack why development is first and foremost a leadership responsibility, not a learning calendar or a tick-box course. They explore why many leaders don’t get any real development until their late 40s, why “four training days a year” is a useless metric, and how the real test of leadership is not the results you deliver, but the leaders you le...
For many leaders, “accountability” still sounds like blame: Who dropped the ball? Who’s at fault? In this episode of Leadership Matters, Glenn Price and Terry Reynolds flip that thinking on its head. Drawing on the Vision to Results framework, they unpack why true accountability isn’t punishment from the top, but ownership from within. They explore the difference between responsibility (your job description) and accountability (your personal choice to own the outcome), and why so many executi...
In this final driver of the Vision to Results framework, Glenn Price and Terry Reynolds explore the idea of co-elevation — the step beyond collaboration that separates competent teams from truly high-performing ones. For years the model used “collaboration” as the twelfth driver, until they realised collaboration often just means sharing the work. Co-elevation is something very different. It’s when leaders actively lift each other, tap into one another’s strengths, and collectively raise the ...
In this episode of Leadership Matters, Glenn Price and Terry Reynolds dive into the first of two amplifiers that sit across all 12 execution drivers: clarity and communication. They explore why most leaders mistake “communicating” for “being clear” — and why people don’t actually want more emails or town halls, but simple, human messages that tell them what’s happening, why it matters, and what they need to do differently. Glenn and Terry unpack the difference between broadcasting and true cl...
In this episode of Leadership Matters, Glenn and Terry unpack the second amplifier that cuts through every part of the Vision to Results framework: energy and visibility. Visibility isn’t about being seen—it’s about how people feel after spending time with you. And energy isn’t hype or noise—it’s the emotional currency that fuels belief, momentum and progress. Together they explore how leaders unintentionally drain or elevate their teams, why “busy” is not a leadership strategy, how hybrid wo...
In this final episode of Leadership Matters, Glenn wraps the series by pulling together the hard-won truths behind why great strategies so often fail in execution. Leaders don’t usually fall short because the vision is wrong—they fail because the work between the vision and the result is overlooked, rushed or assumed. Glenn unpacks the real reasons execution breaks down: unclear roles, weak alignment, a lack of emotional buy-in, and leaders mistaking communication for clarity. He also reveals...
This episode is designed as a summary of the the "Vision To Results" book by Glenn Price and Terry Reynolds. The central focus is the Vision To Results (VTR) Framework, a model designed to help leaders successfully execute strategy by addressing both the rational and emotional elements of organisational change. The framework is composed of twelve drivers—grouped into "Set Direction," "Engage & Excite," "Enable & Execute," and "Sustain Momentum"—which provide a step-by-step a...
