Like a road map, a well-defined goal tells you where to go and how to get there. But without a specific endpoint, a map is just a piece of paper tat can send you anywhere. Setting a goal is like unfolding a map -- it's a beginning, not a destination.
Before you set any goals in your workplace, clarify your organization's strategic objectives. What does your company want to accomplish in the long term? Build your goals around these big-picture achievements.
Goals that support strategic objectives will make more sense to your employees, leading to greater commitment and effort as everyone moves forward.
