Most leadership teams believe they are aligned – because goals, KPIs and OKRs are clear.
But when alignment at the level of mindset and behaviours is missing:
→ Collaboration feels harder than it should
→ Trust and transparency drop
→ Difficult issues are avoided
→ Decisions slow and execution suffers
→ Leaders disengage from the collective goal
