Momentum Strides

A premier leadership consulting firm

Momentum Strides™ is founded on the conviction that the dynamic relationship between two independently validated dimensions of the human mind – Cognitive Complexity Index (CCI) and Emotional Agility Index (EAI) when integrated into a single composite Transition Readiness Score (TRS) determines the success of leadership transition. It is based on principles of Organizational Psychology.

"Is the leader’s mind and emotional architecture ready for what the new role demands?"

The industry gap we were built to close

Why conventional solutions fail

Surface. Not structure

You trained the behaviour. The old mind came back.

Most programmes modify what leaders do - not who they are. Under genuine pressure, the old operating system re-emerges. Every time.

Kegan & Lahey, Immunity to Change, 2009

Billions. No proof

$370 billion spent. Almost no one checks if it worked.

Fewer than 15% of organisations measure the impact of their leadership investment. $370 billion annually. Near-zero accountability to outcomes.

McKinsey, 2024

One size fails

Six passages. Six transformations. Most organisations use one programme for all.

What predicts success at one level predicts failure at the next. Skills, values and priorities must be rebuilt - not upgraded - at every passage.

Charan, Drotter & Noel · The Leadership Pipeline, 2001 · DDI Global Leadership Forecast, 2025

Will meets wall

Leaders want to change. Something invisible stops them every time.

Hidden competing commitments - unconscious assumptions - actively sabotage change even when the leader is intellectually committed to it. Almost no programme addresses this.

Kegan & Lahey, Immunity to Change, 2009

Skills expire. Minds don't

44% of skills will be obsolete by 2027. The only investment that compounds is the mind.

Horizontal development is losing value faster than organisations can deploy it. Skills have a shelf life. The mind does not.

World Economic Forum, Future of Jobs Report, 2023

"Who in your organisation is 6 to 12 months away from a significant leadership move - and how confident are you that they will arrive ready?"
