Alignment
A shared vision creates more effective teams.
When teams understand the vision and commit to shared goals, they move with clarity, accountability, and purpose.
Key Elements of Alignment
Own the outcome, embrace the learning.

Research into traditional “scorekeeping” accountability reveals that it often results in a “negativity bias” where people are subconsciously more likely to notice shortfalls than successes. When employees are ranked in this manner, they feel unsafe.
Focusing on ownership and learning has a completely different effect. A study revealed that a properly conducted team debrief that emphasizes learning rather than blame can improve team performance by 20-25%.
