What does it take to keep a team aligned, motivated, and moving towards a shared mission, even when things get tough?
In this episode, Alice Olafare shares her insights as an ex-founder and her experience working with more than 120 founders.
Together, we explore:
• The concept of aligning a common "North Star" vision to maintain cohesion, improve performance, and avoid misunderstandings.
• The power of having ongoing, open conversations, as well as external facilitation.
• The process of knowing when to step down when your vision no longer aligns with your business or your co-founder.
