title: Alignment, action, and accountability getting results in a down economy.
abstract: A disconnect often exists between the way external pressures are viewed by senior leaders and middle managers. This disconnect creates a situation where the organization may have difficulty moving quickly in the face of change or responding appropriately to the external environment. Senior leaders can improve performance through efforts aimed at aligning goals, aligning behaviors, and ensuring accountability.
