A leadership research project

LOOPS

Why do capable leaders keep returning to the same problems?

We're Daniel Anstandig and Rob Williams. We're studying how world-class leaders recognize and move beyond repetitive, destructive loops, and what helps leadership teams make lasting progress. Our research explores real decisions, recurring issues, and the role AI plays in how teams work.

Take the survey

What changes when a team finally moves forward?

1. Notice the pattern. Which decisions and issues keep returning, and how do leaders recognize them?
2. Understand the change. What differs between recurring issues that remain open and those a team settles?
3. Examine AI's role. Does AI help teams decide and follow through, or leave the same patterns in place?
