Your intuition is right on target.
The alignment step of the leadership process requires that the follwers
understand and accept that following the organization will help them fill
their own needs. If this is done poorly managers try to resort to do it or
it will be painful tactics. Sometime they work but it sis far better to do
a great job of selling and explaining so everyone understand how filling
the needs of the organization will fill their own needs. I call that
alignment.
When it is not done effectively individuals will seek to fill their needs
in other ways and not be engaged in th organization.
To prove your intuition is right study a situation where employee behavior
is not poor. Study and determine how each step was taken and which ones
were done poorly. You will find that as any step is missed the result is
poor attitude and poor alignment.
