E1B2 the Podcast with Anthony Vaughan

After a short pause, I return to The Business of Alignment to share what has become clear about leadership, performance, and the future of work.As organizations face tighter budgets, higher turnover, and growing complexity, one variable is quietly separating high-performing teams from everyone else: alignment. Not engagement scores. Not productivity tools. Real alignment between leaders, teams, incentives, and behavior.In this episode, I reflect on what I’ve learned from working with CHROs, founders, and operators across the market — and why the next chapter of this podcast will focus less on trends and more on what actually moves people, teams, and financial outcomes forward.I will also preview an upcoming conversation with Keith Ferrazzi, whose work on trust, behavior, and human performance represents the thinking today’s HR leaders need if they want to build organizations that not only survive but also compound.This is a reset for the show.And a sharper lens on what modern leadership really requires.
