@michaelambjorn: Founder AlignYour.Org | Past Past Chair @IABC + espresso user & occasional photographer/timelapser http://ambjorn.com | #createconnection
136 words
20+ years of leading people. I’ve run organisations, chaired boards and developed changemakers.
Throughout this I have made one key observation: lack of alignment causes painful friction. It is more common than you might think: 70% of change programmes fail. But there is a better way…
I provide 1:1 advice to Chairs, Chief Execs and senior leaders on strategy, change and turnarounds. I’m particularly interested in how strategic alignment can focus people – and enable growth. And I am a committed espresso drinker.
With my colleagues at Align, I facilitate strategy for organisations that want to enable all their people to put a shoulder to the wheel. Organisations don’t make things happen. People do. And it all starts by creating connection.
Also, through courses and 1:1 mentoring I work to develop the next generation of leaders.
