What do you do if your team is not aligned with your vision?

My steps are: 1. Understand concerns and perspectives 2. Seek common ground: Look for areas of common ground between your vision and the team's viewpoints. 3. Encourage dialogue: Facilitate open discussions and encourage constructive dialogue among team members. 4. Address individual concerns: If specific team members have concerns or objections, address them individually. 5. Provide clarity and guidance 6. Lead by example: Be a role model for the behaviour and values you expect from your team and show them you are open to feedback. 7. Foster a culture of alignment: Create a culture that values alignment and collaboration. Achieving alignment takes time and effort. It requires patience, active listening, and a willingness to adapt.

If your team is not aligned with your vision, take proactive steps to communicate clearly and consistently about the vision and its importance. Hold team meetings to discuss the vision, its significance, and how each member contributes to its realization. Encourage open dialogue to address any concerns or misunderstandings and actively listen to team members' perspectives. Provide guidance and support to help team members understand and embrace the vision, and lead by example to demonstrate its alignment with your actions and decisions.

People can find it difficult to align with a vision if they believe it is yours and not theirs, or it seems fanciful and unrealistic. So your challenge must be to make your vision become ours. Listen to what turns the team on is it the environment or success or maybe doing good. Think about how their passions could link to your vision. Finally, tell stories that clearly connect their beliefs to your vision.

Reflecting on a scenario from a well-regarded business book, a tech startup faced a pivotal moment when its founder realized the team's efforts were misaligned with the company's vision of innovating the educational tech space. The founder initiated a series of workshops where every team member could voice their perceptions and concerns about the current direction. This collaborative approach led to a refined vision that resonated deeply with the entire team, emphasizing user-centered design and accessibility. To ensure ongoing alignment, the founder implemented quarterly retreats for revisiting the vision, celebrating milestones, and addressing new challenges.

I think I’ve realised that alignment and cohesion take time. Don’t expect much progress for 3 months, after 6 months you may see some champions in the group and hopefully after year your vision is fixed.
