Why not talk about team building?  Why team alignment?

Team building is nice, but you can have a team that gets along great and accomplishes very little.  What good is that to your business?

A team that is truly aligned on what they need to do and how they can get it done, is already a long way to having good team chemistry.

"Alignment is a necessary condition before empowering individuals.  Empowering the individual when there is a relatively low level of alignment worsens the chaos and makes managing the team more difficult."      ...      Peter Michael Senge

Communication skills and genuine respect for fellow workers is also very important, both of which become easier when there is genuine alignment of purpose and priorities.

So yes, we enjoy helping companies improve their communication skills with focused programs that are designed to deliver results for the business.

But the focus is on alignment: aligning the team to the business objectives and priorities so the business gets results and the team is engaged and energized.
