The Impact of Leaders Being One Team with One Plan



High Performing Leadership Teams Act and Speak as One Team

They are committed to one plan and one way of working. They purposefully and consistently align a company’s strategy, culture, and talent so that everyone and everything is moving in the same direction for the same reasons. And being on one team with one plan pays dividends.

We know from our organizational alignment research that highly aligned companies grow revenue 58% faster, are 72% more profitable and outperform unaligned companies in terms of:

·    Customer Retention 2.23-to-1

·    Customer Satisfaction 3.2-to-1

·    Leadership Effectiveness 8.71-to-1

·    Employee Engagement 16.8-to-1

When leaders operate as a unified team toward shared goals, organizations experience stronger strategy execution, greater employee engagement, and more loyal customers.

Conversely, high levels of leadership misalignment create organizational churn and dysfunction: teams drift, messages are mixed, priorities clash, agendas diverge, resources are misappropriated, performance declines, and employees suffer.

The ability of leaders to function as “one team with one plan” is a hallmark of high-performing leadership teams.
