Team Alignment
Creating clarity and agreement around where you are going, and why.
Clarity is about being unambiguous
Is each person in your team clear about expectations?
“Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision – the ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.”
- Andrew Carnegie
Help each person understand how their own personality driven bias creates different agendas.
Help each person understand why they are needed and how their role connects into the bigger picture.
Agreement enables ownership
Is everyone in your team in agreement about what is expected of them?
"The purpose of a team is not goal attainment but goal alignment”
- Tom de Marco
When people agree, they take ownership. Ownership ensures accountability. When people are accountable, they look after the team goal as their highest priority.
