Communicating Goals
By Mark Shead
Leaders recognize that in order to lead effectively they need to give their followers success. Some leaders are concerned that if they reveal their goals to their subordinates there is the possibility that they might miss the goals. The leaders are concerned that they might lose credibility if this happens. While this is certainly a possibility, the risks of not presenting any goals to an organization are likely to be more detrimental that missing a goal occasionally.

If you think of an organization as a game and all of your employees are players in the game, you'll see why having goals is so important.

Good communication doesn't happen on accident. It has to be developed and constantly refined. You have to constantly measure how effective your communication was and make sure it is achieving the desired results.

When it comes to communicating goals, it is important to gauge whether or not the goals you have set are achieving the desired results. Sometimes your goals will need refined to make sure people are heading in an appropriate direction and following your intent not just what you said.
