| Do you know whether you
have true team alignment or just passive compliance? On the surface,
passive compliance has the look and feel of courteous agreement between
people: People are nodding their heads, dissent is not obvious, and
there is talk about next steps. Everything is fine…right?
A week later, deadlines are being pushed (for no obvious reason),
you are getting copied on communications between players that reveal
discord and conflict. Time to call another meeting?
Some symptoms of a poorly aligned team include: poor
or failed execution, lack of clarity about priorities, low morale,
absence of healthy debate, lack of ownership or follow through,
underground communications (gossip, “us versus them” thinking)
A truly aligned team is vocal about its concerns – they spend
the time to work out their differences – and when they do actually
align, they are ready to move forward with the power of each individual’s
100% commitment to a clear objective. To get an initial snap shot
of your level of team alignment take the True Team Alignment
Survey.
As the name implies, the True Alignment Process is not a one-time
event (like a team-building workshop), but rather a consulting intervention
that uses solid assessment, team facilitation and expert coaching
throughout the process. With this approach, we are able to deliver
two results at once: an aligned team and coaching and training for
leaders on how to achieve true alignment with their own teams in
the future.
