Goal Setting & Planning – Why set goals? We all know what we want and need to get done, right? To answer these questions, we must answer another: Are we in our respective roles to maintain or to continuously improve, grow and meet the challenges ahead? If we aren’t here to improve, grow and meet the oncoming challenges, even maintaining will eventually fail. Eighty-eight percent of people who set goals never reach them or abandon them altogether. Goals must lead to plans that drive execution.
