In a multi-site or multi-layer enterprise, leadership drift is rarely uniform - and that's what makes it hard to see from the top. Corporate sets a standard. One site, under a strong leader, holds it. Another site, under equally credentialed leadership, quietly runs its own version - different tolerance for missed deadlines, different escalation habits, different definitions of what 'good' looks like under pressure.
None of this shows up in an org chart or a policy binder. It shows up in performance variance between sites that should be performing identically, in a bench of leaders who can't be moved between locations without a re-onboarding, and in a leadership team that has never actually agreed on what winning looks like across the whole enterprise - only within their own silo.
Training alone does not fix this. Full GDD installation begins with CEO ownership and connects the Structural and Behavioral Engines through every layer and site.
