Leading organizations worldwide are evolving from the idea of employee engagement to that of organizational alignment. More important in today’s virtual work environment, The Art of Alignment provides a roadmap to creating alignment to your mission and vision to distributed teams. Readers will discover the answers to:
- How bought in to the mission and vision are your employees?
- Are leaders across your organization aligned?
- How are your KPIs integrated into the organizational alignment?
The Art of Alignment takes a data-driven approach to organizational alignment. When executives add PURPOSE to engagement, coupled with measurement, your organization will experience market-leading performance. By following the 9-Pillars approach to leadership, your organization can increase key metrics by as much as 28% with each percentage point improvement in alignment.
The approach to organizational alignment is organized into four parts; how it can be measured, practiced and analyzed:
Part 1 – Alignment is the Responsibility of Leadership
Part 2 – The Nine Pillars of Alignment
Part 3 – The Data-Driven Leadership Playbook
Part 4 – The Scientific Leader - Where Data Science Meets Leadership Decisions
By adopting a scientific approach to your leadership style, leaders are able to visualize how to improve employee engagement and performance.
