💡 Stop Confusing Agreement With Alignment
Agreement is easy. Alignment is where the real leadership work begins.
Kate Zappitelli (Karrikins Group) explains why leaders cannot stop at saying, “That’s a good idea.” Real alignment requires intentionality, growth mindset, and the courage to have uncomfortable conversations.
The question every leader should ask daily: Where am I still in the failure gap?
Watch the full episode for more on building aligned teams that turn strategy into everyday behavior.
We sat down with Sergio Santamaria of People People at CultureCon West in Las Vegas. Sergio shared that AI and social media makes it easier to stay connected on the surface. But it can also make it easier to avoid the real stuff: awkwardness, rejection, vulnerability, and the discomfort that comes with building actual human relationships.
Human connection still matters. We cannot outsource connection to technology when it is so integral to human nature.
