We’re continuing our conversations on automotive leadership with a six-part series exploring the key themes which emerged from our cross-industry white paper.

The first article explores the theme: “Strategy is aligned, capability is not.”

While organisations are typically clear on their direction, the real challenge lies in ex*****on. How to close the gap between intent and organisational capability.

We worked with Nigel McMinn, Managing Director at Pybus Recruitment to speak with Gemma McNeill, People Director at Volvo Car UK and Jamie Vindis, Managing Director at Vindis Group to get their perspective on how this challenge is playing out in practice, and what it takes to bridge the gap between strategy and delivery.

Their insights highlight a clear shift: competitive advantage is no longer just about having the right strategy, but having the capability to execute it at pace.

There is clear agreement from industry leaders that no organisation can deliver its future strategy alone. Yet, alongside this recognition sits a consistent undercurrent of frustration. Many describe how difficult it is to make partnerships work in practice.

When taken as a whole, leadership pipeline is not a question of talent shortage but is a question of preparedness.

There is a growing recognition that leadership development can no longer be left to time, tenure or functional progression. It requires deliberate exposure to different parts of the value chain, cross‑sector thinking, comfort with technology and data, and experience leading through uncertainty rather than stability.

Leaders repeatedly reference software, digital capability, data, systems integration and increasingly AI as critical to the future competitiveness of their organisations.

What is striking, however, is the admission that organisational confidence in executing on this is mixed.

Cost pressure has long been a feature of the automotive industry.
What is different now is not its existence, but its pervasiveness - and
the way it is shaping leadership behaviour beneath the surface.

Senior leaders increasingly frame competitiveness not in terms of superior strategy or technology, but in terms of how quickly their organisations can make decisions, align and act, suggesting that speed is no longer a by‑product of good ex*****on. It is becoming a primary differentiator in its own right.

Leaders broadly agree on where the industry is heading (electrification, software, new economics), what is less certain is the confidence in their ability to execute at pace, highlighting the consistent tension between intent and ex*****on.

• 52 interviews with senior automotive leaders
• 150 C-suite automotive psychometric profiles

Allowing us to better understand what these priorities, and the capability gaps, might mean for the future of the automotive industry.
