For many top leadership teams, one of the most challenging aspects of transformational growth is staying aligned over time. In this Pam & Scott Quick Take” episode, we discuss the parallels between staying aligned as a leadership team and staying aligned in our personal lives while Scott heals from shoulder surgery.
Making the decision to lead yourself and your company in a new direction is a major accomplishment. Maybe you’ve seen that everyone can have a lot of energy at first. However, with so many different priorities and constant changes in the business environment, as well as among employees and other stakeholders, even the best-laid strategies and plans can become irrelevant.
The good news is that some of the best inspiration and ideas for overcoming this challenge can come from exploring the parallels in other areas of your life. In this case, we’re drawing parallels between business transformation and our own transformation following Scott’s shoulder surgery. We discuss how expecting the twists and turns, fostering trust before you need it, and engaging more stakeholders sooner rather than later can make all the difference in staying aligned both personally and professionally.
Developing trust before you need it builds the resilience it takes to work through tough issues. Pam Harper
