How do we create a workplace where people show up every day, ready to strive for higher organizational goals? It all comes down to translating “true north” (aka your organization’s guiding vision) into everyone’s daily work. The word “translation” is key. Every organization has language barriers, departmental silos, and communication gaps. These gaps often are the biggest obstacles, not the guiding vision itself.

When we talk about daily work, people focus on the shop floor. But change must start at the top.
