## Resource

Episode #277: Lawrence McGlown, Chief Growth Officer at Careerminds, explains why internal alignment is the most critical factor in achieving sustainable B2B growth. He discusses how siloed functions create friction that slows revenue velocity and weakens execution. McGlown highlights the importance of shared purpose across leadership teams. He also outlines how alignment around profitable growth accelerates collaboration and results. "You have to shift from functional ownership to best-of-breed thinking, where everyone executes against a shared operating model for how you win. That continuity across messaging, selling, and delivery creates the alignment needed to move faster." - Lawrence McGlown This conversation explores how leaders can remove internal friction and build alignment that drives measurable growth. McGlown explains the importance of shared intent, disciplined execution, and trust across teams. He also outlines how alignment improves revenue velocity, strengthens customer relationships, and helps organizations move faster with confidence.
