Outcomes and Goals #businessgrowth #businesstips #teamwork #teamgoals #leadershipskills

I'm standing in front of a set of the play Unnecessary Farce. I want to talk about Chapter 5, which is defining outcomes and goals. You know, we can't put on a production like this without having a clear understanding of what we want to accomplish. But when you look at this set, this was built by a gentleman based on what we talked about as far as goals and outcomes were concerned. We Literally sat down as a team to talk about the play, talk about the execution of the play, and then we set all the expectations. And I can tell you, there are 7 doors on this set. Some of them have to stay open at certain times. Some of them have to stay— be closed at certain times. Every step of the way, we have to understand what it is, what we're supposed to be doing and delivering each moment that we're standing on that stage. So, when you're taking a look at your business, Do you have defined goals and outcomes? And if you do, do your employees know about it? Does everybody involved in your business understand your goals and your outcomes? And if the answer is no, then please get them all together and let's sit down and do a strategy session so everybody has that understanding. So that we're not coming to work every single day doing the same thing thinking that we're changing or doing anything that is contrary to those goals and those objectives. Because I think there's nothing more frustrating than doing a project, doing something, and then somebody comes and tells you afterwards and goes, oh, I don't know why you did that because that's not what our goal was.
