Strategic
Hygiene
Coaching at Compos Mentis is not about motivation, performance tips, or behavioural correction. It is about the disciplined practice of keeping a leader’s thinking clear, structured, and grounded.
Clear leaders build
durable systems.
As leaders take on greater responsibility, the quality of their thinking becomes as critical as the systems they oversee. Yet very few leaders are supported to regularly step back, re-examine assumptions, or recalibrate how they process complexity and pressure.
"Strategic Hygiene addresses the gap between executive capability and the noise of rapid scale."
What it means
Clear under pressure: Maintaining cognitive function when stakes are highest.
Structured amid complexity: Navigating ambiguity without losing strategic direction.
Grounded in role: Ensuring decisions are driven by mandate, not reaction.
Why it matters.
High-Stakes
Decisions become less reversible as you grow.
Increased Ambiguity
Informal clarity breaks down under pressure.
Over-Functioning
Leaders carry more context than they can process.
Quiet Erosion
Decision quality erodes silently without hygiene.
The Coaching Focus
Our engagements are strategic and role-based. We focus less on what leaders do—and more on how they think, decide, and prioritise.
Role & Authority
Clarifying decision boundaries and ownership across the leadership system.
Signal & Noise
Separating critical strategic levers from the operational friction of growth.
Judgment
Strengthening the ability to make high-quality decisions under uncertainty.
Reactive Patterns
Reducing cognitive overload and moving from 'fixing' to 'architecting'.
Leadership
