Lucas, why don't we start with you?

We wrote Patterns of Mastery after many years of working with organizations.

We saw that leaders experience the same problem.

They know how something is holding them back, but they cannot clearly see the underlying patterns.

So most organizations are not failing because people are unwilling or unacceptable.

When we worked through the data of 500 organisations, we noticed huge differences among and within these clusters.

Organisations struggle because management systems, leadership practices, culture and organisational capabilities are not well aligned.

And why don't we just talk a little bit about why you guys decided to write the book?
