In this in-depth conversation, Andrea Belk Olson sits down with Leslee Mallinson of Balfour Beatty to unpack how the Steering Guide became a powerful tool for aligning leadership, culture, and execution inside a complex organization.

Too often, strategy lives in slide decks while culture operates by habit. In this interview, Andrea and Leslee explore how to bridge that gap — intentionally and practically.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

Why strategy often fails at the point of adoption—not design
How the Steering Guide creates clarity around priorities and trade-offs
The role of leadership alignment in shaping cultural behavior
How to create aligned, operational decisions
What it takes to drive buy-in across large, decentralized teams

Leslee shares firsthand insights from implementing the Steering Guide within Balfour Beatty—what worked, what surprised her, and how it changed conversations at the leadership level.

If you’re leading change, refining strategy, or trying to ensure your culture actually supports your ambitions, this conversation offers practical perspective grounded in real-world experience.
