    Leadership, Governance, and the Decisions That Shape Organizations Feat. Ed Gillcrist

    Send a text In this episode of Tuesday Tea, Dominica sits down for a thoughtful conversation with Shackleton group Founder, Ed Gillcrist, about leadership, governance, and what really happens inside organizations once strategy meets reality.  Many organizations spend enormous energy building plans, structures, and org charts. But as companies grow and decisions become more complex, the way things actually operate often looks very different from what is written on paper. This conversation explores where leadership, governance, and execution intersect- and what leaders need to understand when decision-making becomes distributed across teams, systems, and increasingly, intelligent technologies. Together, they discuss: • Why organizational charts rarely reflect how decisions are truly made  • The difference between leadership, management, and governance  • How execution breaks down even in highly capable organizations  • What leaders often miss when responsibility becomes unclear  • Why thoughtful governance is becoming more important in the age of AI As technology accelerates and organizations adopt more automated tools and data-driven systems, the question of who ultimately owns decisions becomes more important than ever. This episode is a conversation about responsibility, stewardship, and the evolving role of leadership in complex organizations.
