In today’s post, Jeff shares how damaging it can be when a leadership team is not aligned on strategy, and how a team can realign if division is happening.

At Kaas Tailored we use the “today, tomorrow, day-after-tomorrow” thinking model to help us with the idea of time frame. We talk a lot about today, tomorrow, and day-after-tomorrow. But yesterday actually informs it all.
