Alignment Without Conformity: How Teams Can Fly in the Same Direction
In this episode of The Leadership Vision Podcast, Nathan Freeburg, Dr. Linda Schubring, and Brian Schubring explore what alignment truly means in team settings—dispelling the myth that alignment requires conformity. Using metaphors from nature, like the organized flight patterns of geese and the dynamic, colorful movement of flamingos, we delve into the complexities of alignment. We discuss why it’s essential for effective teamwork, and how it often looks messier than we might expect. Our conversation highlights that alignment isn’t about uniformity; rather, it’s a shared commitment to move in the same direction while also leveraging each person’s unique Strengths. Enjoy!
