How to Create Leadership Team Alignment

Why Leadership Team Alignment Matters

Just as poorly aligned tires can cause your car to drift off course, poorly aligned leadership teams can send your organization in the wrong direction.

Even with solid strategies, many companies fail to translate their well-designed business plan into desired results. In fact, we know from a recent IBM survey, that as few as 1 out of 10 strategies are successfully executed.

A major factor is the lack of leadership team alignment.

Alignment Research

Our organizational alignment research showed how important it is for companies and leadership teams to get aligned.

With input from eight industries, over 400 companies, and 30 years of hands-on experience, we found that highly aligned companies grow revenue 58% faster and are 72% more profitable.

And they outperform unaligned companies at the following rates:

Customer Retention 2.23-to-1
Customer Satisfaction 3.2-to-1
Leadership Effectiveness 8.71-to-1
Employee Engagement 16.8-to-1

So how can you go about creating leadership team alignment to perform at your peak?

It Starts With Strategic Clarity and Leadership Development

When it comes to peak performance, high performing organizations are much more proactive than their peers.

The top companies agree on strategic priorities and assess what it takes at the leadership level (especially for high stakes roles) to make it happen.

How to Move from Strategy to Action to Kick the Year Off Right

Strategy Without Action Is Just Wishful Thinking

Despite the time and effort leaders put into crafting a clear business strategy, one of the most distressing statistics is that, according to a recent IBM survey, 90% of strategies fail to meet expectations.

The loss can be calculated not only in time and effort but also in dollars, missed opportunities, and employee morale.

If you are struggling to get measurable results from your recent strategy retreat, you need to understand what is going wrong and fix it.

The Usual Fault

The fault most often lies in the strategy execution phase – the critical next step that involves translating top level strategies into the kind of realistic implementation plans that stakeholders can understand and buy into.

The question is:

How can your organization buck the odds and set up a strategy execution roadmap that will get you and your teams where you want to go in a way that makes sense?
