Act - Part 3 of 4
academy
Effective leaders know the power of community building. As they lead individuals and teams within an organization, they are able to strike the right balance between engaging individuals and doing so within the broader scope of the team and the overall organizational “community.”
Communities are made up of individuals who have the opportunity to work together and spark innovation, create value, and succeed in the market together.
Investing heavily in your team community is fundamental to supporting the strategic objectives within any organization. This is part 3 of a 4-part series, covering the Orient Pillar of the Human Achievement Process.

Lesson 5
The Alignment Element
Community and the Alignment Element
When best practices are followed by the community, they realize better long–term outcomes. But best practices can change over time.
Aligning around the right practices sometimes means sacrificing short term efficiency for long term benefits.
