Work with Us
When leading a business through growth, transition, or rising complexity, costly effects can show up: decision cycles stretch, priorities compete, and momentum becomes harder to maintain.
41 Summits helps founders, executives, and leadership teams get clear, get aligned, and move forward with discipline.
Who This Is For
Our work resonates most with leaders who want to have real impact.
They understand that impact comes from clarity, alignment, and disciplined decisions that overcome friction.
You’re likely a:
Founder or CEO navigating a consequential decision or transition
Senior leader navigating tension, unclear ownership, or stuck decisions
Leadership team that’s strong individually, but not operating as a unit
Leader approaching the next stage, but existing operating structures are holding you back
Investor, advisor, or operator supporting a portfolio company at a pivotal inflection point
Where friction starts to tax momentum
In growing or transitioning organizations, friction rarely announces itself. It shows up in patterns that feel manageable at first – until they compound.
Decision cycles stretch
Issues resurface, debates repeat
Competing priorities
Everything matters; few things move
Activity over value
Effort without sustained momentum
Unclear ownership
Outcomes drift while accountability fades
Tension is unresolved
Escalation is inconsistent, or avoided
Consumed by rework
Progress is halted by constant realignment
Over time, these patterns quietly tax the business: missed opportunities, delayed bets, margin leakage, and growing drag on senior leadership attention.
This is the moment where clarity and alignment stop being “nice to have” and become operational requirements.
Not sure what’s actually holding you back?
Take the 2-minute Friction Pulse for a directional read on where momentum is getting stuck.
What We Do
We help leaders cut through friction for cleaner decisions – and ensure those decisions don’t unravel under pressure.
Create shared Awareness
Friction becomes visible so leaders can align on reality.
Surface the opportunity tradeoffs
Alignment is a shared commitment, not an ongoing debate
Lock ownership and definitions
Clear ownership of outcomes, what ‘done’ means, and what’s excluded.
Design for follow-through
Forward motion that doesn’t depend on constant intervention
What this looks like in practice
– New channel leader, enterprise company
– Executive Director
– Global marketing leader, manufacturing
– Co-Founder, tech startup
Two Ways to Start
“I’m not sure what’s creating the friction”
You sense that something is slowing momentum but the root cause isn’t obvious yet. Decisions feel heavier than they should. Priorities compete. Alignment feels fragile.
Start with the Friction Pulse: a short, directional assessment that helps surface where pressure is building and what kind of support will actually create value.
Best when:
You feel drag but can’t name it
You want signal before committing time or budget
You need help deciding between a focused diagnostic or deeper engagement
“I know what needs attention”
You’re navigating a consequential decision, transition, or leadership challenge and know that waiting longer will only make it more expensive.
Submit an application. That helps determine fit, scope, and the right starting point.
If there’s a clear way forward, we’ll recommend it directly. If not, we’ll say so.
Best when:
The cost of delay is already clear
You’re a decision-maker (or advising one)
You want a recommendation, not a sales pitch
Ready to move forward?
You don’t need more noise or more effort.
You need cleaner decisions, tighter alignment, and momentum that you can sustain.
To maintain engagement quality, we work with a limited number of clients at a time. If it’s not a fit, we’ll help point you in a better direction.
How it works
Apply
Share a bit of context so we understand where you are and what you need.
Routing + Recommendations
We review every application and recommend the right next step.
Begin the Work
Most engagements begin with a focused diagnostic – to make friction visible and lock the highest leverage next steps – before moving into an engagement cadence.
If we’re not the right fit
When your needs are execution-focused, we may recommend a trusted partner who specializes in implementation.
