Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• Everyone on my team is quietly playing for their own scoreboard
• My departments are each winning their own little battles while the whole thing loses
• My progress lives buried in some spreadsheet I never open, so day to day I genuinely have no idea whether I’m winning or losing on this goal
• I measure myself purely by the scoreboard
• My team keeps fighting over what to do first and it always gets personal, but underneath it I think we just quietly mean different things by "important"
