Organizational Alignment
Scaling Culture Masterclass: Module 6
Description
“Organizational Alignment” is Module 6 of the Scaling Culture Masterclass that consists of 8 Modules.
True organizational alignment reaches beyond the walls of your company and impacts all your stakeholders, especially your customers. A strong, resilient, aligned culture becomes a potent message in the marketplace - a unified message instead of a contradictory one.
Cultural and individual alignment need to work together for the long-term health of your company. There are several important practices to foster company-wide alignment for your employees and stakeholders. The most impactful and far-reaching is autonomy - equipping your people to make the best possible decisions, and setting them free to do it.
There are two sides to organizational alignment: cultural alignment of the organization overall, and individual alignment with each employee's own role. We’ll look at the distinguishing features of each, how to create them, and how they affect your company and your individual employees. Finally, I’ll show you how to make your alignment sustainable over time.
Everyone should be held to the same standards as the CEO, in terms of alignment to your purpose, values, and big, hairy, audacious goal. And the CEO needs to be held to the same standard as everyone else. In a lot of companies, frontline staff are the only ones getting reviewed, and it's a one- way street. That's not fair. If your company is truly aligned and pulling in the same direction, then everyone must be accountable to everyone else.
Do your people know your organization's purpose and values and are they committed to them?
Does everyone understand exactly how their role contributes to the purpose?
Does key information/strategy go from leaders to the front lines with lightning speed?
Leaders should ask themselves those questions consistently.
