How To Ensure Alignment

In this episode of The Leaders Kit Bag, we tackle a common leadership challenge: how to ensure alignment and clarity in meetings and presentations. Many leaders leave a room believing everyone is on the same page, only to find confusion and misalignment later. This episode introduces a simple yet transformative tactic to prevent that from happening.

Key Takeaways:

• Ask to confirm understanding: Instead of asking, “Any questions?”, ask specific questions to test understanding, e.g., “What time are we starting?” or “What is the next step?”
• Encourage active listening: When attendees know they might be asked to summarise, they naturally engage more attentively.
• Avoid assumptions: Silence doesn’t equate to understanding. Test and confirm for better alignment.

This approach fosters better communication, reduces misunderstandings, and ensures everyone leaves a meeting clear and aligned on priorities.
