Solutions: What “Drives” our employees in the

direction that we want?

Define “conversation”…

“2 people talking, they have their own dialog in their own heads with interrupting thoughts

with what others are saying.”

The “CONVERSATION” is the “RELATIONSHIP”

If… Conversation = Relationship

then…Fuzzy Conversation = Fuzzy Relationship

Our Objectives1. Interrogate Reality

– Did you hear that? Our job is to find the truth and get to the true story

2. Provoke Learning– Open everyone to learning, otherwise minds are

closed off. We create people to be open to listening

3. Tackle Tough Challenges4. Enrich Relationships

– You may not like each other, but you must respect each other so it can be reciprocated.

Welcome to the Alignment Form

No 3 strikes rule

Just a great “Conversation”

Get the team “On course”

Benefits to Alignment Forms1. We are able to get to the root of our mission

of our company and how what they do disrupts it

2. Allows the team to better understand how us as owners look at things

3. You don’t have exactly every situational rule in a book to say, “it is wrong”

4. When it is time to let someone go, you can do it immediately and be documented ok.
