Welcome back, friends! In this episode of the Grounding and Growing Leadership Podcast, Tara is joined by co-host and ALIGN’s Chief Strategy Officer, Stephanie Theisen, to explore what true leadership alignment looks like, and what happens when expectations,communication, and priorities aren’t clear. They discuss how a lack of bench strength and unclear expectations can lead to burnout, disengagement, and leaders holding onto responsibilities they need to let go of.Tara and Stephanie share practical ways leadership teams can strengthen alignment through clear mission, vision, andvalues, regular check-ins, psychological safety, and honest conversations about the “elephants” in the room. The takeaway: alignment isn’t a one-time conversation;it requires intentional communication, accountability, and consistent practice to keep teams moving in the same direction.Registration for our next Grounded Leadership cohort is now open!
