Picture eight rowers in a single boat. When they're out of sync, the boat doesn't just move slowly — it fights itself. But when they find their rhythm, the boat doesn't go a little faster. It leaps.
That's the power of alignment, and it's the most underestimated source of speed in any organization.
In this episode, Dr. Mike Armour makes the case that alignment doesn't simply add people's efforts together — it multiplies them. Building on earlier episodes about character (congruence within a person) and trust (congruence between people), this conversation turns to alignment: congruence among people, organized around three things that matter most — values, vision, and strategies.
You'll learn why most misalignment isn't a conflict problem at all.
It's a clarity problem. And you'll walk away with a practical action
plan for turning scattered effort into shared momentum.
