CHAPTER 19
The power of the collective.
Politeness in a leadership team is often mistaken for alignment. The cost shows up in execution.
PROMPT ONE
If you asked your leadership team separately what business are we actually in, how aligned would the answers be — and how recently have you tested it?
PROMPT TWO
Where in your team is politeness currently being mistaken for alignment — and what's that costing you in execution?
PROMPT THREE
What's a recent meeting where everyone nodded but nobody actually agreed — and how did that meeting's outcome land in execution?
PROMPT FOUR
If you removed yourself from your leadership team's strategic interpretation work for sixty days, would they reach similar conclusions to the ones you'd have made?
