A true letter in company: Becoming a Goal Driven Organization

Message to all ****(company name) Colleagues

When you listen to the music of a symphony orchestra playing a beautiful masterpiece, you might wonder why everything works so perfectly to produce such spectacular sounds. The reason for this is that everyone is playing for a common set of musical instructions and they all have the same set of overall goals and each of their individual goals supports each others goals.  The woodwinds support the strings, which in turn support the horns which in turn support the percussions. All individual goals work together to support the overall goal.

There are many similarities between a symphony orchestra and a successful enterprise. There is a direct correlation to a company's ability to set goals and objectives and to manage performance against these.

 We have begun a goal setting process for ****(company name) and will roll this effort out over the next few weeks. I have personally established five key goals, which I will use to measure my individual success. These goals are in addition to our collective team goals related to our finances.  Each member of the executive leadership team has also established goals, which support my personal goals and goals for ****(company name). My goals focus on the following key areas:

 

§  Client Acquisition, Retention and Satisfaction

§  Leadership

§  External Relations

§  Strategy

§  Internal Communication and productivity

 Over the next few weeks, we will be cascading this goal setting process across the entire organization. You will be asked to develop 2008 individual goals. As you go through this process, think about goals that you can commit to which will support the goals of your individual leader and ****(company name) as a whole.  This process will help everyone at ****(company name) align with each other and enable us to accomplish great things.

 We will set goals at all levels with all colleagues and we will measure these against our performance regularly.

 This goal setting process will become an ongoing process at ****(company name) and will be an integral part of our culture and the way we do business.

 
Becoming a Goal driven organization will help ****(company name) as we continue to grow and become famous in the market place.

 
Best wishes for a successful 2008!
