Episode #2 - Alignment Isn’t Automatic

Pod Squad: Calder + Wren

Description:

What creates alignment on a leadership team—and why doesn’t it happen on its own?

In this conversation, Calder and Wren explore a core idea from The Advantage: the difference between being smart and being healthy. They unpack how clarity is created, how it breaks down, and why shared understanding requires more intention than most teams expect.
