#199 Brand Affinity: Why Your Employees Need to Love Your Strategy

But without emotional connection to your strategy—without brand affinity—you’ll never build a true culture of alignment, ownership, and advocacy. Today, we’re talking about a game-changing concept for CEOs and founders who are ambitious, who can achieve their vision, but whose company sometimes feels more like a loose collection of teams than a single, aligned force.
