Why survive when you can THRIVE? I'll help you take the smart decisions and smash your GOALS | Start today with my three-staged approach to make the change | Follow for daily insight

Change can accelerate growth — or derail it. The difference? How you lead through it.

I help CEOs, founders, and leadership teams navigate change with clarity, confidence, and momentum — turning uncertainty into opportunity.

Whether it’s digital transformation, organisational restructuring, recovery from stalled delivery, or adapting to AI-driven shifts, I bring over 20 years’ experience guiding high-growth SMEs and global brands like JPMorgan and Centrica through high-stakes change.

I work as both a strategic advisor and execution partner — combining big-picture thinking with hands-on delivery to ensure change sticks and results last.

What I do:

- Strategic 1:1 advisory for high-impact decisions & blind spots
- Embedded execution partner to unblock delivery & keep pace
- Practical frameworks for cadence, communication, decision-making & delegation

When to call me:

- Digital transformation & organisational change
- Recovery & restructuring
- Interim leadership & capacity gaps
- Leading teams through AI-driven change
- Turning around failed consultancy efforts

How I lead change:

- Clarify the vision and the case for change
- Work backwards from the outcomes that matter
- Align people so everyone knows what’s changing, why, and their role in it
- Build a delivery rhythm the team can sustain
- Support execution with challenge, clarity, and perspective

Why clients choose me:

I’m a grounded operator with academic depth from Oxford Saïd Business School and a straight-talking, results-focused style. My clients value my ability to cut through complexity, create alignment, and get things moving — without adding more noise.

There is a moment halfway through any difficult change when the noise fades and the work becomes honest. No more slogans. No more optimistic timelines. Just you, your team and the next hard metre.

That is the point where leadership starts to matter. Not because you give a speech, but because you set a rhythm. You make one clear call, you hold one clear line, and you keep people moving when comfort would have them stop.

What helps is rarely dramatic. It is simple, visible and repeatable.

Name the next landmark so the team can see progress.

Cut one competing priority so focus has room to breathe.

Ask for written recommendations before you meet so time together is for decisions.

When a call is reversible, take the smallest safe step by Friday and review it.
When a call is not reversible, slow down just enough to align owners and risks, then commit.

The teams that reach the end are not the loudest or the most talented. They are the ones that learn to keep cadence under pressure. They spend less time narrating effort and more time choosing a path. They publish what changed, who owns what and what gets paused to protect capacity. They close the day knowing what tomorrow is for.

If you are in that middle stretch now, make it lighter for your people. Clarify the next landmark, remove one distraction and set the pace you want them to keep. Momentum is not an accident. It is a choice you remake, steadily, until the result looks inevitable.

Create Space to Lead | Deliver Change That Sticks | Hands-On Strategic Advisory for CEOs, Founders & Leadership Teams Navigating High-Stakes Change

Most teams do not fail for lack of effort. They slip in the quiet gap after a meeting when actions are vague, ownership is fuzzy and the calendar fills with more updates than decisions.

If you want momentum, close that gap on the spot.

In every leadership forum, aim to leave the room with four simple anchors written down and visible to everyone.

1) Owner
Name the single person who will make the call or move the work. One owner. No committees.

2) Decision date
Write the date, not “next week”. If the call is reversible, set the smallest safe step by Friday and review it. If it is not reversible, state what evidence you need and who will bring it.

3) Success signal
Define what a good result looks like in one line. If the signal does not move, you change approach, not the slide.

4) Stop list
Say what will pause to create capacity. Focus is a choice. Make it explicit.

Publish a three line brief within 24 hours: what changed, decisions made with owners, top risks and the next two weeks. Link your live decision log so nothing gets reopened by accident.

The effect is boring and powerful. 

Calendars quieten. 

People bring recommendations instead of narration. 

Decisions stick because everyone can see who owns what and when it lands.

If your week currently ends in more meetings than movement, try the four anchors in your next session. 

You will feel the pace change.

Follow Stuart Turner for more insight on leading change at speed, decision cadence, executive operating rhythms, and turning disruption into practical advantage.

Most transformations do not fail for lack of effort. They fail because leaders drown in updates and starve for insight.

This week’s edition of The Stellar Edge is a reset. Not more process, a cleaner way to see and decide.

What it covers

- Why noise creeps in and turns into culture
- The few field rules that keep information useful
- A weekly cadence that shifts meetings from narration to decisions
- How to separate routine rhythm from escalation so urgency does not hijack the week

Three ideas to steal

1) One page, one owner, one request. If it cannot fit on a page or name an owner, it is not a weekly update.

2) Decide, delegate or date. No fourth option in the room. Record it in a live Decision Log to stop re-litigation.

3) Three-line brief in 24 hours. What changed, decisions and owners, top risks and the next two weeks. Consistency is culture and culture is speed.

Try this today

Before your next leadership meeting, ask for written pre-reads, mark each item as reversible or irreversible, and end by publishing a three-line brief. By the following week you will feel the difference: fewer reopenings, clearer focus, faster movement.

If this resonates, the full write-up walks through weekly, monthly and escalation rhythms, the evidence pack on one page, the metrics that matter, and the traps to avoid.

Open article: How senior leaders cut noise, surface signal, and make better decisions in fourteen days by Stuart Turner • 7 min read

How senior leaders cut noise, surface signal, and make better decisions in fourteen days

When work gets intense in the throws of change, balance is usually framed as something you add later.

- A long break.
- A holiday.
- A reset once this phase passes.

That thinking quietly makes pressure permanent.

In high-intensity periods, balance is not about time off. It is about keeping enough space to think clearly today.

Fresh air and exercise matters more than it sounds.

A walk or quick run.

Not just as self-care but also operational discipline.

Leaders under pressure do not fail because they work hard. They fail when their thinking narrows and they stop noticing early signals.

- Space restores range.
- Air restores perspective.
- Both protect judgement.

If everything feels urgent right now, do not look for balance at the edges of the week. Create it inside the day, in small, repeatable ways.

Clear thinking is not a luxury.
It is part of the job.
