Leonie McCarthy has built a reputation as a trusted partner for retailers, helping brands like Incu, Aje, Platypus Shoes, and Baby Bunting overcome challenges and achieve alignment, inspire action, and deliver lasting exceptional results.
Now, Leonie is sharing her expertise in her new book, Momentum: Build Alignment, Action & Accountability.
This practical guide is written to empower retail leaders to tackle the challenges of today’s fast-changing industry and setting their projects up for long-term success.
However, the framework underlying the book has application in many other environments. It’s based around what Leonie calls a triple A process.

Alignment isn’t just about setting clear goals—it’s about ensuring every team member understands and feels invested in those goals. Too often, misalignment at the leadership level cascades down to operational inefficiencies.
Tip for 2025: Conduct regular
alignment check-ins across teams.
Use tools like project roadmaps or OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) to ensure visibility across the business (and with partners).
A brilliant strategy is useless without execution. Action requires more than task management—it needs teams to have the resources, clarity, and autonomy to move forward confidently.
Tip for 2025: Break projects into
more achievable phases.
This gives both a smaller target to hit
and flexibility to evolve working
practice on the go.
Accountability isn’t about micromanagement or punishment. It’s about creating a
culture of ownership.
Teams need to feel responsible not just
for their individual tasks but for the
project’s overall success.
Tip for 2025: Implement accountability frameworks like weekly progress reviews or cross-department feedback sessions. Incorporate this into the existing meeting structure if possible.
As an external project advisor and leader I’ve helped many businesses of different shapes and sizes, deliver their projects.

After working with Leonie for roughly one year, the business turned over what we did
in two years of business in one month.
The only reason I know that figure is
because Leonie taught me how to use, make and maintain a real profit and loss
statement and ensured I was trading legitimately and fulfilling all obligations
needed from a small business.
