Transform Your Workplace

The Art of Alignment with Patty Beach


Listen Later

Brandon Laws interviews Patty Beach about the art of getting employees aligned behind a good idea and leading them effectively toward a vision or goal. The two discuss leadership best practices for setting direction, creating "clockwork," and empowering employees. Learn how to give your employees a voice and use the "wisdom of the group" to correct misalignments and move forward as a united front.

TAKEAWAYS

  • Unlike traditional top-down leadership, alignment in the workplace is analogous to interlocking gears turning together.
  • If leaders create a psychologically safe environment, employees will be empowered to voice their thoughts, concerns, and questions.
  • Tapping into "the wisdom of the crowd" not only allows leaders to make more informed decisions but also keeps employees engaged in the plan to move forward. After "setting direction," leaders should have regular conversations with employees to increase buy-in, alignment, and ultimately, forward progress.
