Leadership buy-in and governance get talked about as if they’re the same thing.
They’re not 🤷🏻♀️
Leadership buy-in is about support, sponsorship and championing the agenda. Absolutely vital, yes. But not the same as governance.
Governance is what makes the work accountable. It defines who owns the insight, who has the authority to act, how progress is reviewed, and how decisions get made.
One practical expression of that is leadership accountability.
Is wellbeing reflected in how leaders are measured, supported and held accountable? Questions like: Did you act on what your team told you? Did anything actually change?
When the answer to those questions has visibility, ownership and follow-through, things get done.
When it doesn’t, even the best insight stays stuck in a deck somewhere 🫣
