Webinar: Why Alignment is Essential to Accountability

Posted on February 16, 2021

If you want your leadership team to fight hard to deliver on the company’s plan, you’ll need them to believe in that plan so much that they feel like it’s their own.  That’s true alignment.  But as companies grow through midsized, getting each person on the leadership team to feel that way takes work.  And it’s absolutely worth it.  The work of leaders progresses in three phases: visioning, aligning and then executing. At midsized, skipping from the visioning stage of leadership right into the execution phase will not work.  In fact, it will slow your company down.

In this webinar, we’ll look at how leaders must communicate with each other and the broader team to gain alignment, and how that communication must be captured in writing to gain the clarity that will be needed in the execution phase.  We’ll make clear that striving for alignment is not asking for “permission” from the team, but instead involving everyone in figuring out how to achieve the goal.

You will learn:

• Specific steps required to gain alignment of other leaders and the project team.
• Specific leadership behaviors that stimulate alignment activities.
• How to capture decisions as the team aligns so that the team stays aligned over time.
• Why the work of alignment is never truly completed, even as the work is being executed.
