In this episode of The Leadership Vision Podcast, we sit down with Anders Indset, philosopher, futurist, and author of The Viking Code. Anders shares his insights on how leaders can bridge individualism and collectivism to build high-performance cultures that are deeply rooted in shared values. Drawing inspiration from his Norwegian roots and global observations, Anders explores themes of adaptability, trust, and the role of friction in fostering progress.
This thought-provoking conversation is packed with actionable insights for leaders seeking to embrace a forward-thinking mindset, navigate complexity, and create environments where teams and organizations thrive.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

In this episode of The Leadership Vision Podcast, Nathan Freeburg, Dr. Linda Schubring, and Brian Schubring explore what alignment truly means in team settings—dispelling the myth that alignment requires conformity. Using metaphors from nature, like the organized flight patterns of geese and the dynamic, colorful movement of flamingos, they delve into the complexities of alignment, why it’s essential for effective teamwork, and how it often looks messier than we might expect. The conversation highlights that alignment isn’t about uniformity; rather, it’s a shared commitment to move in the same direction while leveraging each person’s unique strengths.
Rethinking Alignment:Traditional metaphors, such as geese flying in a perfect V-formation, suggest that alignment means precise order and conformity. However, Brian and Linda introduce the image of flamingos flying together—distinct in color, spacing, and position—yet moving in the same direction. This imagery highlights that alignment can be diverse, flexible, and individualized, challenging the need for perfect uniformity.Commitment Over Conformity:Effective team alignment doesn’t mean everyone thinks or acts the same way. Instead, it’s about committing to a shared vision and staying adaptable in how each person contributes. Teams can have different strengths, perspectives, and ways of working yet still move cohesively toward a common goal.Creating Personal Connections to Alignment:Linda and Brian share insights on encouraging leaders to define alignment personally. By reflecting on times when they felt aligned within a team, leaders can better understand the nuances of alignment and recognize how it may look different from one team to another.The Four Frameworks of Alignment:The team outlines four critical aspects of alignment:Clarity: Defining what alignment means for the team.Cascade: Alignment often starts with a few and then cascades to the rest of the team.Cultivation: Continuously reinforcing alignment as the team moves forward.Culture: Embedding alignment into the team culture to ensure resilience over time.Alignment as an Emotional and Relational Process:True alignment isn’t just strategic; it’s emotional and relational. Team members need supportive relationships to maintain alignment, especially in challenging times. This relational focus helps individuals feel connected and engaged, fo
