Your strategy is only as strong as the leaders carrying it out.
Led by Molly Schlobohm, FORTYF helps CEOs and senior leadership teams get aligned, restructure with clarity, and run the business through change.
The Problem
A new structure takes a few weeks to draw. The harder work is getting the people at the top to agree on what it means, who decides what, and how they will work together once it is live.
When that work is skipped, the same things tend to happen. Executives quietly protect their old territory. Decisions stall because nobody is sure who owns them. Good people read the uncertainty as a signal and start looking elsewhere. Revenue slips while the leadership team is busy managing each other instead of the business.
FORTYF works with CEOs and senior teams on that part, before, during, and after the change.
What We Do
-
For CEOs whose senior team has to function differently after a reorganization, merger, or growth stage.
Start with how each leader actually works, using Everything DiSC
Clarify roles, decision rights, and expectations across the team
Build the habits for productive conflict and honest communication
Align the team behind the new structure so they lead it together
Plan succession for the roles that matter most
-
For companies that need senior leadership in the COO or COS seat while the organization is in motion.
A FORTYF leader steps in as your Integrator, running the leadership team and the day-to-day
Keep priorities, meetings, and accountability on track through the transition
Free the CEO to focus on vision while the structure settles
Hand off cleanly when a permanent leader is in place
-
Policy and procedure development: clear policies and procedures that meet applicable standards and regulations, and that people can follow
Interim EOS Integrator, for Visionaries searching for a permanent Integrator: Molly steps in as your Integrator, gets the EOS system running, and hands off a working rhythm to the person you hire. Usually a 6-12 month engagement
Scoped, with a clear deliverable and end date
FORTYF is led by an operator, not just a consultant.
Molly Schlobohm, who leads FORTYF, has spent nearly 20 years as a senior executive and COO across multiple companies, from mid-size regional businesses to Fortune 500 organizations including Target Corporation and Marriott International. She has run sales, operations and led executive teams from the inside.
She also brings EOS Integrator experience: running the leadership team, the priorities, and the rhythm of the business so the CEO's vision becomes real.
That background is why FORTYF is useful in a reorganization. We know what it takes to hold a leadership team accountable, because Molly has done that work from the inside.
Every engagement is customized and starts from where your team is today.
Fractional leadership: how it works
Senior leadership, without the permanent hire.
A reorganization often leaves a gap: a role vacated, a function being rebuilt, or a CEO stretched across too much. Fractional leadership fills that gap with someone who has done the job.
Conversation. We talk through where the company is, what is changing, and what the CEO needs most.
Scope. We agree on the role FORTYF will play, the time commitment, and what success looks like.
Embed. FORTYF joins the leadership team and runs the rhythm: priorities, meetings, accountability, and follow-through.
Transition. When the structure has settled, We hand off to a permanent leader or step back.
TESTIMONIAL
“I have had the pleasure of working with Molly at Marriott for over a year now. She is one of the most intelligent individuals I have ever had the opportunity to work with. She is very passionate, hospitable and driven. Molly is one who sets the bar high and does not stop until the job is done right. Molly is a natural born leader and is always striving for more excellence. She would be a major asset for any organization, I highly recommend Molly!”

Everything DiSC
It starts with how your leaders actually work.
Every FORTYF engagement is built on Everything DiSC. Before a team can agree on a new structure, each leader needs to see their own style, understand their colleagues', and have a shared language for the friction that change creates.
We use three Everything DiSC programs with leadership teams:
Everything DiSC Workplace: how each leader works, communicates, and prefers to be worked with
Everything DiSC Agile EQ: how leaders adapt and stay effective as conditions change
Everything DiSC Productive Conflict: how the team disagrees well instead of avoiding it or letting it turn personal
The result is a leadership team that can talk about hard things before they become expensive ones.
