Struggling with competing priorities, turf wars, and miscommunication? In this episode we break down the Ladder of Alignment—a practical leadership tool to move teams from tactical arguments to strategic unity. We cover how to set a clear mission, vision, and values, simplify the mission so it drives ground-level decisions, and check ego with humility so the best plan wins. You’ll learn how to spot misalignment, use decentralized command, and run an Immediate Action Drill to realign departments around outcomes and KPIs that actually support the overall objective. Includes a memorable “dishwasher debate” example and a field story showing how a simple mission statement improves real-time choices. If you lead people—executives, middle managers, or frontline leaders—this is your playbook to align, execute, and win.
