The Real Reason Companies Fall Short
The biggest strategic failures don’t come from bad plans—they come from broken alignment anchors..
I’m Stanislav Zinkov, and I’m writing a book that introduces a groundbreaking framework to help business leaders identify and repair the anchors most companies overlook—key connections that stabilize execution and amplify results:
Action ↔ Assumptions
Behavior ↔ Assumptions
Action ↔ Risk
Behavior ↔ Risk
Assumptions ↔ Risks
Action ↔ Behavior
When these alignment anchors are disconnected, companies waste effort, expose themselves to unnecessary risks, and miss game-changing opportunities.
My framework fixes these broken links, unlocking the hidden power of strategic execution. By realigning organization’s alignment anchors, CEO’s transform drag forces into lift velocity, empowering the team to blow past targets while minimizing risk at every level.
Why Your Story Matters
After reviewing over 2,500 CEOs, my team and I identified a select group of leaders who demonstrate what I call Glide Force Leadership—the ability to align strategy, action, and impact with precision and clarity, creating seamless momentum where every alignment anchor is connected and working in harmony.
You’re part of this group.
This book will explore what it takes to achieve this level of alignment and the results it unlocks. But it’s not about theory—it’s about real-world leadership. It will feature the experiences and insights of a small, carefully chosen group of CEOs whose journeys reflect the challenges and breakthroughs that define true impact.
Your story has the potential to shape how others lead, think, and act.
Let’s share it.

About Me
For two decades, I’ve been helping companies align their most precious resources—talent and capital—for maximum impact. At the heart of my work, I fix broken connections. Whether it’s bridging strategy and execution, aligning people with financial goals, or minimizing risks, I ensure every piece of the puzzle fits together to drive results.
As a former CFO for private, PE-owned, and public companies across the U.S., Japan, and Australia, I’ve raised $35M from KKR, scaled and turned around businesses, and prepared them for critical inflection points. Over the past eight years, I’ve mentored CEOs and lectured at Stanford Graduate School of Business, helping leaders reduce risk, achieve alignment, and build thriving organizations.
Beyond the boardroom, I’m an endurance athlete. I’ve summited Denali three times, served for eight years as support staff for mountain search and rescue, and survived being avalanched off North America’s most dangerous peak, Mt. Foraker—an ordeal that left me presumed dead for 12 days. These experiences taught me that success—whether in business or life-and-death scenarios—demands precision, resilience, and adaptability.
I call Austin, Texas, home, where I live with my wife and son.
