Some businesses push hard – long hours, endless initiatives, meticulous planning – and barely move the needle. Others? They glide. Results flow effortlessly, teams seem in sync, and progress feels natural. What’s the difference? That’s the question at the heart of today’s episode.

Picture a salsa dance floor in a city alive with rhythm. Same music. Same basic steps. But while some couples move stiffly, eyes fixed on their feet, others seem to float—smiling, flowing, reading each other with ease. They’re not focused on steps. They’re immersed in the dance. 

The parallel to business is unmistakable. Many organisations get stuck in mechanical execution – overthinking tools, chasing perfection, reacting to chaos. But excellence isn’t about effort alone. It’s about rhythm, synchronicity, and mastering the fundamentals so well that everything flows.
