Episode 118: From Performance to Purpose: What Alignment Really Means

Laura King has had over 30,000 career conversations across two decades as an executive recruiter. She's sat with leaders at every level: the ones hitting their stride, the ones grinding without traction, and the ones doing everything right on paper and still falling short.   She learned that the gap between potential and performance almost always comes down to the system around people, not the people themselves.   Every transformation — especially now, with AI reshaping how work gets done — has to pass through the human layer. How people make decisions. How they take ownership. How they work together under pressure. Most organizations want to make that transition. They just haven't been given the tools to redesign it.   That insight is the foundation of UNLOK. As Co-Founder & CEO, Laura translates what she observed in 30,000 conversations into a working methodology that diagnoses the operating environment and gives organizations a path forward.   She's done listening. Now she's unlocking what organizations are actually capable of.
