Troubled Team? Consider Granting Amnesty

Many organizations today are dysfunctional, not because their people are incompetent, uncaring, or lazy, but because they are not aligned. People are unknowingly working at cross-purposes, are unclear about what they should do, and are unsure how they relate to colleagues. As a result, they work hard for a while, then become discouraged, sometimes even cynical, and withdraw. They are going through the motions, putting in their time, but working far below their full potential, leaving the lion's share of the work to be done by a few, overloaded people.
Through alignment, organizations can achieve breakthrough results and people can realize much greater personal satisfaction. Alignment is a collaborative leadership process that is not rocket science, but that does take discipline, commitment, and follow-up from committed champions.
In this webinar, authors Bob and Gregg Vanourek address the 10 steps of The Alignment Model from their award-winning book, Triple Crown Leadership: Building Excellent, Ethical, and Enduring Organizations.
