“The Art of Alignment” with Patty Beach | Ep. 200

In The Transformative Leader Podcast, Amir Ghannad interviews Patty Beach, an inclusive leadership evangelist and author of "The Art of Alignment." Patty shares her journey from geoscientist to leadership consultant, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity in decision-making, not just in terms of DEI but also across different specialties within an organization. She introduces her framework of one goal, two or more people, three principles (iterative co-creation, SHUVA, and versatility), four steps, and five C's to achieve team alignment and commitment. Patty and Amir discuss overcoming silos, balancing efficiency with effectiveness, and creating a culture where every voice matters, though not everyone gets a vote, to foster self-aligning organizations.
