Bring clarity by defining clear goals aligned with business priorities and quickly getting to action

Just as clear water is a sign of a healthy ecosystem, businesses must have a clear vision and direction. This includes defining clear goals including clear KPIs and milestones aligned with the company’s priorities and communicating them effectively to all team members. This helps everyone working towards the same goals. It means prioritize action over deliberation. By outlining expectations for action, leaders are making sure that the team is moving quickly to achieve their objectives.

Maintaining clear water requires ongoing monitoring and continuous improvement. Similarly, leaders must regularly evaluate with their team the progress toward their goals, identify areas for improvement and adjust their strategies accordingly. Leaders are measuring progress effectively through clear metrics, planning resources, removing obstacles and having regular performance dialogues with their team. In this way they keep the ecosystem in balance and all living organisms are thriving.
