I missed on the opposite side when I was a Professor and leader of a 34-person academic research laboratory. I was good at setting alignment goals for the total research direction but missed out on the one-on-one meetings. We did have many informal one-on-ones via my walking around leadership style. However, the alignment you talk about may have been the secret of our success. We maintained a very flat organization so the alignment focus with the total group fit well, although I did not realize it at the time. Your blog was a great aha moment for me. Thanks
