Most organizations have some degree of misalignment. The more misalignment, the more you will find chaos, confusion, wasted time, and misused resources. Misaligned organizations are ineffective and inefficient. Some of the common factors that produce misalignment include:

-The goals are clear or shared by all employees.
-The managers and staff lack the knowledge and skills needed to implement the strategy.
-People do not understand the strategy and are uncertain as to what they need to do day-to-day.
-The management team lacks shared values which produce a weak culture.
-The company structure does not provide opportunities for promotions and pay raises which has a big impact on employee motivation.
-The company has too many metrics and/or poorly selected metrics to track performance.
-The company is rewarding the wrong behaviors.
-The performance appraisal system is not aligned with the company's values and core competencies.From the 1-8 list of factors, identify the top three factors that cause misalignment in many organizations?
