Of leadership teams believe their team is aligned on key priorities.
According to Harvard Business Review, the gap between perceived and actual alignment remains widely underestimated.
That is nearly €3M a year for a company with €100M in revenue and €10M EBITDA.

Alignment cannot be delegated. It must exist at the top, then spread naturally. Leadership misalignment cascades: the rest of the company mirrors what it sees.
