After having facilitated more than 200 executive planning meetings, it doesn’t take long for me to spot major alignment issues among the CEO’s top brass. But when I bring up this misalignment to that same CEO during a follow-up call, he or she is always surprised. “But they all work so well together.”

No, they don’t. Some struggling CEOs really don’t see the problems. Others have their heads buried too deep in the sand. Consider this: If your leadership team isn’t on the same page, then they’re really not on your page, and, as a result, your organization will struggle.

Follow these steps to get your leadership team back in alignment with your plan and with each other—and then get ready for big growth.
