Executive teams need a shared vision and three to seven concrete priorities for the next 90 days. Have each leader write down their top three priorities, then consolidate them into one unified list to surface misalignment and get everyone moving the same direction.
One is a shared vision, and rarely does the leadership team take the time to really dive into that and come together and say, yes, that's it. The flip side of that, or the ancillary path, is understanding what the priorities are and saying, okay, these are the 3 to 7 things that we need to focus on the next 90 days. And if you go into a leadership team and you ask them to write on a piece of paper, what are the 3 priorities that you have? Yes. If you have 3 people, you'll probably have 7. And different priorities, because that's how you harness your talent and your skill set, is to get everyone working in the same direction toward the shared objectives.
