Alignment The Multiplier for Team Performance with Lindsay Uittenbogaard Mirror Mirror - OrgDev Episode 69
About this episode
We'd love to hear from you so send us a message!
Why does progress feel harder than it should, even when everyone’s working flat out? Why do good teams struggle to have the right conversations, make clear decisions, or follow through effectively?
In this episode of the OrgDev Podcast, we explore the invisible drag on performance: team misalignment. When people act on different assumptions, even the most committed teams end up stuck in confusion, slow decisions and fractured collaboration.
It’s not about effort – it’s about shared understanding. And alignment is what cuts through the fog. But alignment doesn’t just happen.
That’s why we’re joined by Lindsay Uittenbogaard, Founder of Mirror Mirror and a leading expert on team alignment, to discuss:
What alignment really means (beyond just agreement)
Why misalignment is often overlooked
How to make alignment a standard part of how teams work
