Great organizations consistently achieve their goals by having efficient, effective, and loyal people who are aligned with the organization's vision, mission, and goals. An organization's goals must be actively incorporated into the daily, weekly, and monthly work rather than just written down in a plan or binder. It is also important to understand employees' values, what activities they value, and their personal visions to help align them with the organization's goals. Simple, practical tools can be used to help organizations achieve their goals through efficient and effective people.
