By pursuing goal congruence, you have the opportunity to reconcile these competing forces, transforming fragmented factions into a powerful, unified "us." This journey requires more than just structural alignment—it demands a visionary approach to leadership that honors both professional excellence and a higher, shared calling to advance a unified mission.</p>
