## Resource

In today's episode: How you REALLY measure alignment and know if your team is on the same page. The results pyramid trick that tells you if a goal is truly on track. The public "reply all" celebration habit that does more for the sender's ego than for the person being praised. CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel is a 5-minute daily podcast where business pragmatism meets inner wisdom. John Frehse, Global Head of Labor Strategies at Ankura, joins Jessica to unpack how to tell real alignment from polite agreement, why small wins and honest celebration keep teams moving toward big goals, and why authentic, personal recognition often lands better than a company-wide shout out.
