Most of the theories of leadership, management, and performance can be summarized around three themes or questions.
- Do people know what to do? – Alignment
- Do they know how to do it? – Development
- Do they want to do it? – Motivation
The process of setting and attaining goals has five steps. The first two, Setting Strategy and Setting Goals, help you address alignment – “do people know what to do.” The other three steps, Tracking Goal Performance, Providing Feedback, and Managing Goal Performance, guide the development – “how to do it” and along the way creating the motivation and commitment to reach these goals– “do they want to do it.”

In order to achieve or even surpass targets, you must mobilize all the talent you have in your group or organization. Effective management through goals is the most powerful way known to manage your future and the opportunities it can bring.
