Make sure the direction and decisions set at the top reach the front line intact, so leadership alignment becomes organizational alignment.
Define how what leadership aligns on and decides flows down through each leader to their team. The 'confirm received' column is what separates a cascade from a hope.
| What to cascade | From whom to whom | How / format | When | Confirm received |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Direction and priorities | ||||
| Key decisions | ||||
| Context and the why |
Cascade the why alongside the what; a decision without its reasoning arrives as an order and erodes trust. If the front line consistently does not know where the business is going, the cascade is broken regardless of how good the leadership meeting is.
