Staying Aligned Along the Transformational Journey

In this “Pam & Scott Quick Take” episode, we use Scott’s medical adventure after his shoulder surgery as a metaphor for staying aligned during a company’s transformational growth.
One of the most challenging aspects of transformational growth for many top leadership teams is staying aligned over time. Maybe you’re facing this, too. It’s a major accomplishment to jointly commit to moving in a new direction. Everyone can have a lot of energy at first. However, with so many different priorities and constant changes in the business environment, as well as among employees and other stakeholders, even the best-laid strategies and plans can become irrelevant. How can you stay aligned when there can be so many disruptive surprises along the way?
Drawing from both our personal experience and real-world examples, we share how expecting surprises, fostering trust before you need it, and engaging more stakeholders sooner rather than later can make all the difference in staying aligned, regardless of the twists and turns ahead.
Developing trust before you need it builds the resilience it takes to work through tough issues. Pam Harper
