A Shared North Star Turns Silos Into One Leadership Team with Troy Stoll

Send us Fan MailWe’re celebrating our 100th episode of Get Amplified by bringing in Troy Stoll from Dynatrace (APAC), an energising leader who’s lived what it really takes to make alignment stick. If you’ve seen strong teams slowed by silos, mixed metrics, or underlying friction, this is a clearer way forward. By aligning on a shared North Star and working back to remove friction between marketing, sales, services, and customer success, the APAC team is now executing with real pace and consistency. We get into why over-communication is a leadership responsibility, especially as teams evolve, new leaders join, and priorities shift. It’s less about telling people what to do, and more about helping them understand why it matters and where they fit into the bigger picture.A big part of the story is the Switch change framework and why shared language matters more than most leaders realise. We break down its three core ideas: finding the bright spots (what’s already working), shaping the path (making the right behaviours easier to follow), and motivating the elephant (tapping into what actually drives people to act). The shift here is simple but powerful: stop trying to fix everything, and start amplifying what already works. That’s what shrinks change and helps it land faster across teams, cultures, and geographies.Troy also connects this to the Team Speed Check as a practical way to surface purpose, trust, clarity, and simplicity, so leaders aren’t guessing what’s going on, they’re responding to reality.If you’re looking for actionable ideas on cross-functional leadership, communication, and building trust that shows up in pipeline, renewals, and better customer outcomes, this one’s worth your time.Subscribe to Get Amplified, share this milestone episode with a colleague.We would love you to follow us on LinkedIn! https://www.linkedin.com/company/amplified-group/
