One of the most common challenges faced by teams is misalignment in understanding the team’s goal.
A simple exercise to demonstrate this is to ask each member to close their eyes and point to the north direction. You will likely find each one pointing in a different direction—highlighting the disconnect.
When team members have differing interpretations of objectives, it can lead to confusion, misalignment, and ultimately hinder performance.
This happens because not everyone is involved in the decision-making process. As humans, we naturally engage more when we are part of the discussions and have a say in setting the goals.
During these discussions, team members can ask questions, seek clarity, and even bring fresh perspectives to the table—perspectives that may reshape or refine the goals.
Clarity within a team is crucial for achieving shared goals and fostering a collaborative environment.
Make the journey more rewarding by adding incentives that recognize and celebrate achievements.
That is why I have started the JITAO series—to help you build the confidence to launch your own incentive programs. If you need any clarification or want me to help set up the entire program for you,
