At first glance, growth feels straightforward. You define a number. You build the plan. You activate the teams. But what happens when the foundations are misaligned? What if your stakeholders, structures, and expectations are not yet coherent?

In this episode of COVERED, Francois Jacquemin reflects on the quiet work that often precedes real growth—the work of alignment.

He shares practical reflections on:

• Why a North Star alone is not enough

• What true alignment looks like inside complexity

• The role of transparent leadership in fragmented ecosystems

• How a simple, specific number can unite teams more effectively than lofty vision statements

There is no model here. No jargon. Just lessons from the field. What worked. What did not. And what still shapes Francois’s approach to executive leadership.

This is for decision-makers navigating uncertainty with accountability. If that is your world, take a moment and listen quietly, if you prefer.
