Alignment

/

Nothing guarantees failure more than a lack of alignment in a Leadership Team. Here are some simple ways to check for good alignment.

  • Collaboration: Look for signs of working together. Jointly owned, consistent results that are matched with the organization and team values.

  • Transparency: An aligned team will have nothing to hide. Everything that matters is brought to the table. It will be about what went wrong rather than who went wrong.

  • Accountability: Each member of the team will hold personal accountability in the highest regard. Conversely, they will also hold one another accountable to ensure the right decisions are made for the people and the good of the organization.

  • Integrity: Each leader on the team will practice what they preach. It's as simple as that! Follow up and follow-through consistently.

Gaining alignment takes time, patience and a lot of follow up. Good alignment builds one of the most important things in any organization...trust.
