Reduce your risk of being ineffective...


Alignment is key to many of the things we do at work and in life. Knowing who and what to be aligned with is critically important.

 

·      Alignment is important

·      To being in synch with colleagues and friends.

·      Superior-subordinate alignment is very important

·      When planning and setting organizational objectives.

·      It’s about being on the same page in the work/life playbook.

 

In general, this is true. But I think it’s most important when setting objectives at work. Whether it relates to a specific project or initiative, your organizational and departmental performance, or other overall objectives, you, and your colleagues will benefit from this level of agreement. This requires open discussion, clear communication, a lot of listening, and specific agreements about what you decide. This is called superior-subordinate alignment and it’s important to a you and your team’s overall success. With these agreements, you have a roadmap from which to set, track, and measure performance – that’s efficient and effective. You have the basis for on-going coaching discussions, less judgmental or defensive and more factual and focused. In keeping with your purpose and mission. Think of this as a playbook, complete with clear diagrams, roles, responsibilities, and results, all the things you and your workmates need to be effective. It all starts with alignment. Be in synch with others today
