Explanation

When team members work independently on self-selected tasks, the core risk is fragmentation - individual effort lacks direction and may not serve collective goals. Embedding the organization's vision into team culture creates a shared compass that aligns autonomous workers without micromanaging them, ensuring their passion-driven work still contributes to what the organization actually needs to achieve.

Why the distractors fall short:

• A (Informal teams): Informal teams may simply cluster around shared interests, reinforcing the same scattered focus rather than redirecting it toward organizational goals.
• C (Learning culture): Encouraging development is generally positive but doesn't solve misalignment - people can grow skills in directions entirely unrelated to organizational priorities.
• D (Regular meetings): Tactical problem-solving meetings are reactive and don't address the root cause; independently-minded workers also tend to resist meetings that feel disconnected from their work.

Memory tip: Picture independent workers as boats sailing wherever the wind takes them. Vision culture is the lighthouse - it doesn't control each boat, but it gives every sailor the same fixed point to navigate toward.
