Team Alignment: How to Get Any Group to Agree | Patty Beach

How do you get a team to actually agree on a decision instead of nodding along and moving on? Executive coach Patty Beach shares the process from her book The Art of Alignment for building real team alignment, starting with a simple practice she calls SHUVA: see, hear, understand, value and appreciate. She also explains why leaders need both firmness and nurturing, and how to know which one the moment calls for.

In this conversation: - How the five SHUVA verbs turn empathy and listening into something you can actually practice - The four steps of alignment: propose, probe, repropose and close - The five C's for gathering feedback (clarifications, compliments, concerns, changes and commitment) and why compliments protect psychological safety - Why Patty says SHUVA belongs at home too, with spouses, children and yourself
