About Mike Herak
Your team is executing. The architecture underneath them isn\'t.You set the strategy - and your team nodded. Six months later, you\'re back in every tactical conversation you tried to step out of. Decisions that should take a day are taking three weeks. Commitments made on Monday are forgotten by Friday. Your best people are firefighting instead of executing.It\'s an architecture problem, not a people problem.I built The Execution Standard to fix the structural cause - not the visible symptom. The operating architecture underneath your strategy: decision rights that are unclear. Accountability that\'s aspirational rather than structural. Operating rhythms that produce discussion instead of decisions. Information flow that sanitizes problems before they reach anyone who can act on them.These are the five drift patterns that quietly dissolve good strategy between the conference room and the frontline. I\'ve spent 15+ years inside Fortune 100 operational complexity watching it happen. The methodology I built is what actually holds at scale.The Execution Standard is a 90-day engagement built into three phases: diagnose the drift patterns breaking execution, design the architecture to replace them, install it in live operation. Five deliverables. Clean exit and path forward at Day 90.This is for CEOs, COOs, Division Presidents, and SVP-level executives where strategy is sound but execution is dissolving. Not for early-stage companies still searching for product-market fit. Not for organizations where execution is actually a talent problem. Not for leaders looking for team-building or culture work. If you suspect the operating architecture underneath your team isn\'t holding, let\'s have a confidential conversation.
