Realignment in a Day - A Practical Approach for Refocusing Your Team

If your team isn’t aligned, your strategy won’t scale.

In periods of growth or change, alignment isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s a multiplier. Misalignment breeds confusion, duplication and inertia. But with focused leadership, you can realign your team in just one day.

The One-Day Format That Works

You don’t need an expensive retreat - just structure, honesty, and clear outcomes. Here’s a simple, effective flow:

Morning: Reconnect and Refocus

• Share perspectives on where the business is going — aloud.
• Capture mismatched views and clarify shared priorities.

Midday: Define Roles and Remove Friction

• Clarify ownership: who’s accountable for what?
• Identify friction points: what’s slowing the team down?
• Commit to fixing one systemic issue that day.

Afternoon: Set a Shared Success Horizon

• Define what ‘great’ looks like over the next 90 days.
• Translate this into visible goals and behaviours.
• Have every team member commit to one action they’ll own.

Why It Works

This isn’t team building. It’s business building, through alignment. Everyone walks away clearer, more committed, and more responsible for the plan ahead.
