The Powerball® Alignment Check

Discover where misalignment is costing you growth.
Most founders think alignment is about their own clarity—but the real growth killer is disunity. You might be crystal clear about your purpose, but if your team, partners, and customers each have a different version of your business, you’re unknowingly working against yourself.

Alignment isn’t about nice words on your website

It’s about everyone—you, your team, and your stakeholders—rowing in the same direction. When that happens, growth feels natural, customers stay loyal, and your work becomes energising again.

This quick assessment gives you a glimpse of where you stand on the four drivers that power successful, purpose-led businesses:

  • Purpose
  • Team
  • Business processes
  • Customer Focus

Research

Why it matters

Research shows purpose-led companies consistently outperform their competitors—growing faster, innovating more, and achieving higher returns. But this only happens when purpose is truly embedded in daily decisions, not just written in a mission statement.

When alignment is missing, your team pulls in different directions, partnerships feel disconnected, and customers get mixed messages. You, the founder, end up managing chaos instead of leading growth.

But when you create unity around these 4 key growth drivers, everything changes. Decisions become easier, growth feels natural, and that “stars aligned” feeling becomes your new normal.

Alignment

How it works

  • For each statement, rate how true it feels for you personally.
  • Then rate how you believe your team and key stakeholders would answer.
  • Compare the two scores—this reveals not just clarity, but unity.

Your results will show you:

  • Where your greatest alignment strengths lie.
  • Where small misalignments are slowing you down.
  • Where urgent gaps could be draining time, money, and growth.

Ready to find out whether your business is set up for purpose-led success—or stuck in hidden friction?

Start the quick check now. In just a few minutes, you’ll see exactly where to focus first to build a more united, resilient, and profitable business.

Instructions

How to complete this assessment

You’ll be rating each statement from two perspectives—so you might need to switch hats as you go. Take a moment to read each question carefully before answering.

Here’s how it works:
First: Rate how true each statement feels for you personally as the founder.
Then: Imagine how your team or partners would answer the same question and rate that too.

Don’t overthink it—just go with your first instinct.

Tip: Some questions may sound similar but are asking about different points of view. Take a moment to be sure you’re clear before you answer.

PURPOSE

Why this question is critical: This cuts straight to the heart of misalignment. You can have a beautiful purpose statement, but if people's daily work doesn't reflect it, you get the "chugging" effect Julie experienced. This question reveals the gap between intention and reality.
