Ever been stuck between two executives at odds?

Do you stay quiet? Do you pick a side?

Or is there another way to lead through the chaos without losing your credibility or your people?


In this episode of The Executive Appeal, I (Alex D. Tremble, CEO of GPS Leadership Solutions) share practical strategies to help you survive and even thrive when senior-level politics threaten to derail your team’s focus and success.


You’ll discover:

✅ How to recognize shifting power dynamics before they affect your team
