• Ask yourself if these
Tactics are complete,
i.e., do they comprise
all we must do to
achieve the goal
above for our Group.
• Focus until it hurts.
• Many people prepare
a strawman of their
goals and then ask
their team to help
them create the final
version.
• Many team members
then use this format
for their own goal
setting. This way we
all stay aligned to the
Company’s goals.
• Give it time to work.

• Sometimes you can’t
measure achievement
of the goal so you
must look for a
“surrogate” measure.
• For example, if your
goals is to design
many successful new
products then you
may not be able to
measure the success
of the product until it
reaches the market in
the distant future.
However you could
measure the output of
focus groups which
examined your
product ideas instead.
• Try to get at least one
measure which is
monthly.
• Also, see if you can
find at least two
measures for each
goal.
• Thinking about
measurement is good
leadership work. It
causes us to become
much clearer about
what we really want to
achieve.
• What we can see in
our minds we can
achieve in our lives.
