EP03: Alignment Is the Highest Form of Clarity
Leadership in 5 | Leadership Foundations
Just because you said it, doesn’t mean it’s clear.
In this episode, James breaks down why so many execution problems aren’t caused by laziness or lack of discipline — but by misalignment. Clarity isn’t just about saying it well. It’s about making sure everyone walks away with the same understanding of what’s being done, who owns it, and when it matters.
In this episode:
- Why clarity without alignment leads to drift
- What “everyone’s pulling hard in different directions” really looks like
- The problem with “Does that make sense?”
- Simple questions that create alignment without micromanaging
Reflection Question:

And what alignment question do I need to ask—today—to close that gap?
