A practical six-step methodology for CEOs and senior leaders who know their organisation is capable of more.
Build a leadership team that operates as a unified force for collective achievement rather than a collection of individuals protecting their own interests.
Turn that alignment into the ownership, strategy and execution required to create extraordinary improvements in your organisation’s most important results.
Most organisations are performing well below their potential – and most leaders know it.
Functions protect their own priorities rather than owning the success of the whole organisation.
Meetings end with apparent agreement while concerns, frustrations and disagreements remain unspoken.
People agree to the strategy without genuinely owning what it will take to deliver it.
Bold intentions leave the room with energy – then quietly disappear beneath the pressures of everyday business.
Most organisations are not limited by what is happening around them.
They are limited by how their leadership team is operating within it.
Each step is a transformation in its own right. Each enables the next. The sequence is the methodology.
Confront the gap between where you are and what is possible. Stop explaining it away. Transformation begins when the leadership team takes genuine ownership.
Complete the past, clear limiting conversations and create a new operating context built on trust, courageous communication and shared accountability.
Plant a stake in the future and work backwards. Let the result you are committed to shape the route rather than allowing history to define what seems possible.
Move beyond communicating change. Enrol managers as genuine co-owners of the strategy, the execution plan and the breakthrough.
Connect every level of the organisation to the future and create an unbroken line between people’s daily work and the breakthrough you are committed to achieving.
Build the discipline, cadence and conviction required to keep moving when transformation becomes difficult – because alignment is the starting line, not the finish line.
Breakthrough rarely follows a straight line. Every transformation moves through three distinct phases.
Create the future and align the team around a clear breakthrough promise.
Stay committed when old habits return and progress becomes harder to see.
The new behaviours take hold – and the results begin to follow.
The methodology in Aligned in 30 Days has been shaped through nearly four decades of working with leadership teams in organisations around the world.
A telecommunications organisation had been stuck at roughly the same revenue level for years. Its leadership team used the breakthrough process to align around a bold three-year promise and execute against it together.
Examples reflect results achieved by individual client organisations. Outcomes vary according to circumstances, execution and starting point.
It is for leaders who know their organisation is capable of operating at a fundamentally higher level – and who are prepared to do the work required to get there.
Build the alignment, ownership, accountability, strategy, and discipline required to turn organizational potential into breakthrough performance.
Aligned in 30 Days gives you the framework. Gershon also works directly with CEOs and leadership teams to put these principles into practice and accelerate breakthrough performance.
