Episode description

Alignment is about making sure that everybody in an organisation is working in such a way that their efforts build on each other, rather than cancelling out. If you’re not aligned, it doesn’t matter how hard you work—you’re not going to get anywhere. In this episode, Chris and Yaniv discuss:

• What does it mean to be aligned?
• Alignment at different levels and across different time spans
• Encouraging alignment at a cultural level
• Surfacing hidden assumptions
• The importance of writing things down
• Why meetings are important (yes, really!)
