Rowing in Different Directions?

ARTICLE | August 13, 2024

You found your way out of the wilderness and now  you want to do some water activities. The problem is no one seems to agree on how to get where want to go.


If everyone on the boat is not seeking the same thing, with the same eagerness, you feel the pain quickly. Imagine a teenager, who, despite forced enthusiasm for the outdoors, would rather be anywhere else. Or perhaps a friend, whose momentary resting of the eyes in the enjoyment of the great outdoors left you rowing alone. Rowing alone may beat rowing in different directions, but it certainly makes for a slow journey. 


Whether it’s running a business, leading a team, or rowing a canoe, knowing the destination and securing the collective commitment of everyone involved is crucial for making progress. Too often, leadership teams have misalignments which cause any hope to die. One oar rowing the opposite way can cause a large vessel to veer off course. 


KHA’s advisors facilitate open dialogue which brings about healthy conflict, pointing out which oars are not in sync and putting you back in charge as the team’s row captain. Too often, differences amongst the leadership team are left unsaid, leading to avoidable shipwrecks. Contact KHA Strategic Consultants today and get your team rowing in the same direction at the same pace.
