Set the Direction: Goals, Roles, and Priorities

A high-performing team needs a clear direction and people who know exactly where they fit. This lesson shows you how to translate your manager's goals into team objectives and close the gaps between what the team does and what the business needs. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to: 1. Translate your manager's goals into three team objectives with measurable success criteria and get sign-off in one planning session. 2. Map every team member's role against the top three team goals and write a fix plan for at least two gaps you find. 3. Run a quarterly planning meeting that ends with a written, prioritized team plan with a named owner for every item.
