FRACTIONAL & INTERIM CHIEF OF STAFF
Most organizations don't lose momentum because the strategy is wrong.
Momentum is lost when no one owns the space between what was decided and what is delivered.
That's the gap I close.
I work at the intersection of leadership strategy and organizational execution — embedded with your team, not jumping in with a pre-determined framework.
With senior leaders, I surface what's quietly derailing execution, and build the clarity and alignment the strategy actually requires. With middle managers, I develop the communication, decision-making, and upward leadership capacity that delivers execution as planned.
​
I’m Sayre Darling, I work best when the stakes are high and the path forward isn't obvious.
I work in the space where strategy breaks down somewhere during the execution.
The space that is rarely owned, where capacity is constrained, assumptions are quietly misaligned, and unfinished change creates friction that no one has time to name or solve.
​
I'm brought in when leaders don't have the bandwidth for digging into the details, or the patience to translate what middle managers report up to executives.
I do not add process to an already stretched system. Instead, I bring a robust tool kit and extensive experience translating executives directives to middle managers and enhancing their abilities to manage up.
The gap between strategic intent and organizational reality is where I live.
