While It’s Still Unfolding - The Quarterly Debrief: A CEO’s Secret WeaponTM:
Ronnie Kinsey, MBA
September 02, 2025
Welcome to Leading Greats, my Tuesday weekly newsletter.
Here I offer actionable leadership, business, and personal development insights and tools from my decades of experience as a learner, leader, and coach.
It’s been a priceless accumulation. I am pleased to share with you here.
Q3 Debrief
The Quarterly Debrief: A CEO’s Secret Weapon™
Most leaders jump straight into forecasting Q4.
Few pause to examine Q3 while it’s still unfolding. That’s the advantage you hold right now.
Your team carries fresh stories in this moment. Wins that mattered, efforts that drained, and sparks of progress worth amplifying.
Wait until October and those details blur into broad strokes.
The leader who pauses in September, listens deeply, and acts decisively will outpace the one who scrambles later.
A debrief now is not about nostalgia. It’s about leverage.
You still have a month left in Q3, which means there is time to cut distractions, double down on momentum, and set the stage for a sharper Q4.
Here’s how to make it work:
Host a 90-minute debrief with your leadership team. No decks, no long reports. Just three questions:
What should we never repeat?
What deserves more investment?
What did we learn about ourselves?
Keep it focused and honest. Capture answers in real time.
Turn them into two lists: actions to apply immediately in the final stretch of Q3, and lessons to carry forward into Q4.
Precision is what makes this powerful.
Why it matters:
Clarity now beats clarity later. If you wait until October, it’s too late to adjust.
Engagement rises. Your team sees that their experience informs strategy, not just execution.
Momentum accelerates. Problems aren’t dragged forward, they’re resolved while there’s still time.
Strategy is not just vision. It is memory, applied with discipline.
The leaders who finish Q4 strong are not the ones running the hardest at year-end.
They’re the ones who paused in September, drew lessons while the quarter was still alive, and made sharper moves because of it.
That is the quiet advantage of The Quarterly Debrief: A CEO’s Secret Weapon™.
Have the best productive week ahead!!
