FOUNDERS & TEAM ALIGNMENT AUDIT OS

A coherent organization doesn’t run on policies. It runs on presence.

FOUNDERS & TEAM ALIGNMENT AUDIT OS
FOUNDERS & TEAM ALIGNMENT AUDIT OS

From Hierarchy → Harmony. From Vision → Resonance.

Purpose:
To ensure everyone in the organization — regardless of title — is living, leading, and working from the same core values and shared energetic field.

When the janitor and the founder share the same sense of purpose, the organization becomes a living organism.


1. ORGANIZATIONAL COHERENCE PYRAMID

LayerFieldPrimary QuestionOutput
SoulVisionWhy do we exist beyond profit?Shared North Star
HeartValues & CultureHow do we treat each other and those we serve?Behavioral Compass
MindRoles & SystemsWho does what, how, and why?Clarity & Accountability
BodyActions & OperationsHow do we execute with integrity and rhythm?Efficiency & Flow
FieldEnergy & ImpactWhat frequency does our organization emit?Measurable Resonance

Goal:
Every level vibrates in coherence — purpose aligned with practice, values embodied in action.


2. FOUNDERS’ ALIGNMENT AUDIT

Purpose: Re-align the founders’ internal compass and collective leadership field.

DimensionReflectionYes / NoAction Required
Vision UnityDo we each describe the vision in the same words?
Values IntegrityAre our personal values embodied in how we lead?
Energy AlignmentAre we creating from overflow, not depletion?
Role ClarityDo we each know our genius zone and stay in it?
CommunicationAre we addressing tension early, without avoidance?
Decision-MakingDo we trust the agreed system (consensus, lead, or intuition)?
RegulationCan we stay calm and present under pressure?
LegacyAre we building something that will outlive us?

Output:
Founders sign a Collective Alignment Charter stating:

“We lead from coherence. Our creation must nourish us, our team, and the world equally.”

3. TEAM ALIGNMENT AUDIT (ALL LEVELS)

Every team member completes this quarterly, anonymously or in circle dialogue.

A. Vision Resonance

  1. I understand the organization’s purpose clearly.
  2. I see how my role contributes to that vision.
  3. I feel inspired by the direction we are going.
  4. I believe the leadership walks its talk.
  5. I would be proud to tell my family what I do here.

Scoring (1–5):

  • 20–25 = Fully resonant.
  • 14–19 = Needs communication or inspiration.
  • <14 = Misaligned — deeper conversation required.

B. Values Embodiment

Each person rates how often they see and live each core value daily.

Core ValueI See ItI Live ItI Need More Support
Integrity
Service
Connection
Growth
Freedom
Regeneration

Prompt:
Where are we out of alignment between what we say and what we do?


C. Role Clarity

ReflectionRating (1–5)
I know what success looks like in my role.
I have the resources and autonomy to do it.
I understand how my work affects others.
I feel seen and valued for my contribution.

If average score <16 → realign with team lead through a “Role Resonance Conversation”.


D. Energy & Wellbeing

AreaCheck-In QuestionRating (1–5)
PhysicalDo I feel healthy and rested?
EmotionalDo I feel emotionally safe at work?
MentalDo I have clarity and focus?
RelationalDo I feel connected to my team?
SpiritualDo I feel purposeful in what I do?

Optional Daily Ritual:
Each morning: “What frequency will I bring to this space today?”
Each evening: “Did I leave it higher?”


4. ROLE ARCHETYPE MAPPING

Each team member identifies their Energetic Archetype (can overlap).

ArchetypeEssenceRole TypeShadow to Watch
VisionarySees the big pictureFounder / Creative DirectorOverwhelm, impatience
ArchitectBuilds systemsOps, Finance, HRRigidity
HealerNurtures peopleHospitality, HR, FacilitatorOver-giving
BuilderExecutes plansLogistics, MaintenanceBurnout
HostConnects heartsGuest Relations, EventsEmotional fatigue
ArtistBeautifies environmentDesign, Chef, ExperiencePerfectionism

Application:
Each person’s role should match their natural frequency, not just their job title.
Misaligned archetypes cause most team burnout.


5. THE CULTURE COHERENCE CIRCLE

A quarterly 2-hour ritual to check the pulse of the collective field.

Step 1 — Opening:
Breath + silence + gratitude.

Step 2 — The Pulse Round:
Each member shares in one line:

  • What gives me energy here?
  • What drains my energy here?
  • One suggestion to improve coherence.

Step 3 — Alignment Reflection:
Read aloud the core vision & values.
Ask: “Are we living this or just saying it?”

Step 4 — Action Integration:
Document the 3 most repeated insights.
Convert them into next-quarter initiatives.

Step 5 — Closing:
Acknowledgement round: one word of gratitude per person.

Outcome:
A living, breathing feedback loop — culture as a verb, not a slogan.


6. JANITOR-TO-FOUNDER ALIGNMENT LOOP

Why it matters:
The janitor who feels valued keeps the field clean — energetically and physically.
When every member understands they are a steward of coherence, the entire organization vibrates higher.

PracticeApplication
Vision Briefs for AllMonthly 20-min all-hands “story circle” sharing wins, purpose, and impact stories.
Open Feedback PathwayAny team member can offer feedback directly to leadership through a safe channel (written or circle).
Energy Exchange DaysQuarterly rotation: founders spend one day shadowing ground staff; ground staff attend leadership huddles.
Equal Respect RitualsShared meals, gratitude acknowledgements, inclusion in celebrations and debriefs.

Mantra:

“We may hold different roles, but we serve the same purpose.”

10. CLOSING INSIGHT

A coherent organization doesn’t run on policies.
It runs on presence.

When every person — from the janitor to the founder — understands that their work is sacred,
the business stops being a company and becomes a living ecosystem.

Money flows where energy flows.
Energy flows where people feel seen.
People feel seen when they share the same purpose.

That’s alignment.
