Leadership Alignment

Leadership Alignment

When the people at the top aren’t aligned, everyone below them feels it.

I worked with a company recently where performance was slipping. Engagement was down. The team seemed stuck.

Leadership kept looking at the team for answers.

But the real issue? The owners hadn’t agreed on where the company was going.

Different priorities. Different visions. Different decisions — quietly pulling the organization in opposite directions.

The team didn’t know it explicitly. But they felt it. In the mixed messages. In the shifting priorities. In the lack of clear direction.

Here’s the thing most leaders don’t realize:

Misalignment at the top doesn’t stay at the top. It trickles down — into culture, performance, and trust.

Once the owners get aligned on their shared vision and how they will lead together. The team will get clearer. Decisions get faster. Energy comes back.

What needs to change? The leadership does.

If your team feels stuck, disengaged, or siloed — it’s worth asking: how aligned is the leadership team, really?

I help CEOs and executive teams get to the root of what’s holding performance back. If this resonates, send me a email — I would be happy to have a conversation.
