6 Best Practices For Building Alignment With Your Vision

Many organizational leaders start off on the right foot by having an established vision and agreed-upon strategy. However, few are able to execute on their strategy successfully. Oftentimes, it's because they overlook the importance of building internal alignment by communicating the big picture and sharing the path they have for achieving that vision.
