When you are scaling your business, its easy for alignment that you once had to start to become loose.
Priorities start taking tangents.
The left hand stops talking to the right.
Then you apply MORE growth pressure and all of a sudden you have a dysfunctional business that's not aligned.
That's a quick way to undo all your good work.
Creating alignment (and re-alignment) is a critical leadership practice when you're in a growth business.
Ignore it at your peril!
This week, Sean interviews Karen Traversi Kovaleski.
Karen has created alignment in companies from start-up to More than $100 million.
