Leadership Alignment & Coordination Diagnostic
The challenge isn’t competence. It’s coordination.
Large organizations are filled with capable, well-intentioned leaders.
Yet over time, divisions begin operating as independent systems—optimizing locally while unintentionally disrupting the broader operation.
Common symptoms organizations experience
- Projects planned in isolation that disrupt other operations
- Maintenance, construction, or IT work scheduled without system-wide awareness
- Safety, security, operations, and support functions working in parallel—but not together
- Conflicting priorities with no clear integration authority
- Senior leaders repeatedly resolving issues that should have been prevented upstream
What the diagnostic evaluates
This diagnostic focuses on how leadership coordination actually functions across the system—not on personalities, intent, or stated values.
Shared Operating Picture
Do leaders understand how their decisions impact the broader system before execution?
Decision Interdependence
Are cross-division dependencies identified and managed proactively—or discovered after disruption?
Authority & Integration Clarity
When priorities collide, is it clear who decides and how conflicts are resolved?
Coordination Mechanisms
Are there formal rhythms that force alignment, or is coordination informal and personality-driven?
Consequence Ownership
Are leaders accountable for downstream system effects—not just local success?
How organizations use this diagnostic
The diagnostic provides a clear picture of where coordination risk exists across the leadership system.
Organizations commonly use the results to:
Facilitate cross-division alignment discussions
Design targeted tabletop or scenario-based exercises
Clarify decision authority and integration points
Focus advisory or executive engagement where it matters most
It is not a report for the shelf—it is a starting point for action.
How this fits with leadership under pressure
Some leadership challenges emerge when pressure increases.
Others emerge when complexity increases.
One diagnostic looks at how leaders behave under pressure.
This diagnostic looks at how leaders interact across the system.
Many organizations need one. Some need both.
Start with a conversation
The first step is a short, no-cost conversation to understand whether coordination challenges are present and whether this diagnostic would be useful.
This diagnostic is personally led by Dr. Dana Chong Tim.
With over 30 years of real-world leadership experience — including crisis response, law enforcement operations, and coordination with local, national, and international partners — this work is grounded in environments where decisions carry consequence.
When additional expertise is required, Dr. Chong Tim may involve trusted senior advisors — but every diagnostic and core assessment is anchored by him.
Rooted in culture. Driven by experience. Guided by research.
