Aligning Team and Organizational Goals as a Business Leader

Dysfunction in organizations happens when there is a breakdown between the broader organizational goals and the individual incentives of teams and employees. But when every team is properly aligned with the strategic plan, it creates a win-win not just for teams and leaders, but also for customers and stakeholders. In this course, instructor David Burkus shows you how to use your organization's purpose to establish your team's priorities and set goals that are in alignment with the organization's goals and mission.
