What causes execution to break down inside organizations under pressure?

According to performance psychologist Dr. Al Philip-Neri, founder of Cohesion HQ, it’s usually not strategy.

It’s behavior.
It’s communication.
It’s emotional regulation.
It’s leadership under pressure.

In this episode of The Water Trough, Dr. Al shares insights from high-stakes environments including corrections, athletics, entrepreneurship, and executive leadership to explain why execution becomes unpredictable when leaders lack Clarity and cohesion.

Topics include:
 • Leadership under pressure
 • Emotional regulation
