Bruce McCarthy: Aligning Your Executive Team

How can you take a team of infighting execs, each with their own goals and turn them into a disciplined team with a single shared purpose?

As you evolve, priorities may change, but the need to keep your team focused on the big goal (singular) of your org is a constant challenge for founders and professional leaders alike.

In this talk, Bruce shares the core principles you need to understand your stakeholders, negotiate priorities, set and manage the metrics that will drive your teams forward together in pursuit of the strategy you have set for the business.
