Welcome back to The COO Solution Podcast! In this solo episode, host Derek Fredrickson unpacks one of the most overlooked yet critical elements of scaling a business: team alignment.
If your team is working hard but progress still feels off or if you’re frustrated that projects move forward but don’t quite match your bigger vision, this episode is for you. Derek reveals why alignment isn’t just a buzzword but the foundation of efficiency, accountability, and scalable growth.
You’ll learn how to identify signs of misalignment, the role a COO plays in bridging the gap between vision and execution, and practical steps to clarify roles, strengthen accountability, and build a culture where everyone is rowing in the same direction.
Without alignment, even the most talented teams and innovative ideas fall short. Scaling requires more than a system. It demands that your people, roles, and priorities connect seamlessly with your vision. This episode gives you the framework to realign your team and unlock growth with clarity and confidence.
