Collaboration is the key to success complimented by Agility and Boldness. Leader needs to demonstrate all three enablers said above before he demands the same from his team.

1. Get the big picture up and align to focus on the money, not the ego. 2. Reorganize structure if necessary and have the right decision makers with integrity and accountability. 3. Set up milestones to celebrate together and encourage for cross functions collabs. 4. Review the rules and policies to support the changes. 5. Show them the money!

1. Visualize the Goals: Create a shared vision board or project plan to represent the team's objectives visually. This visual tool helps everyone see the big picture and how their contributions contribute to the overall goal. 2. Regularly Revisit and Adjust Goals: Schedule regular team meetings to review and reassess goals. Be open to adjusting goals as needed to adapt to changing circumstances or priorities. Encourage team members to provide feedback and suggestions for improvement. 3. Celebrate Milestones and Achievements: Recognizing and celebrating accomplishments, both big and small, can boost team morale and motivation. Publicly acknowledging individual and team contributions can reinforce a sense of shared purpose.

To have the team aligned on the specific goals it is important that they are involved in formulating the same as well. The goal setting should be a collaborative exercise conducted by dialogues rather than delivering a monologue about the same. The bigger organisation's goal should be kept in front and the team encouraged to come up with ways to contribute to that based on their skills and those can be eventually defined as the team goals. Collaboration and inclusion in the goal setting process will ensure the team is on the same page and that they strive together towards attaining the defined objective.

First of all ask yourself as a leader, how you have contributed to this situation. What have you done or not done that caused this problem. After you reflected on your own actions, take certain actions to a) clean up this mess in a sustainable way and b) make sure its not happening again. For starters, bring your gang together and get a common understanding why scattered team goals are bad... very bad. Once everyone understood the WHY, you set up a good workshop structure. Get help if needed (e.g. a moderator aka workshop facilitator). Your team objective has to be in line with your company objective. Then derive "areas of doing" with clear responsibilities and smart goals. Its important that your team is giving 90% of the input.

- I’d start by organizing a 'goal alignment workshop' to bring everyone together and ensure we’re all on the same page. - During the workshop, we’d 'list out' all the team’s goals, giving us a clear view of what’s currently in focus. - I’d then help the team connect their goals to broader 'business objectives', showing how their work contributes to overall success. - Together, we’d 'prioritize the goals' that align most closely with the business and deliver the highest value, ensuring our efforts have maximum impact. - Finally, we’d identify 'interdependencies' between goals to streamline collaboration and ensure smooth execution.

I suggest to implement the OKR (Objectives and Key Results) methodology. Start by defining clear, ambitious objectives that reflect the team’s primary priorities and overarching mission. For each objective, establish specific, measurable key results that indicate progress and success. Ensure that these OKRs are transparent and communicated openly across the team, fostering a shared understanding and commitment. Regularly review and update the OKRs through consistent check-ins and feedback sessions, allowing the team to make necessary adjustments. By using OKRs, you create a structured framework that aligns individual efforts with collective goals, enhances accountability, and drives cohesive progress toward meaningful achievements.

Misaligned team goals hinder success. To achieve synergy, begin by articulating a crystal-clear overarching objective, the guiding star for all efforts. Then, map existing individual and sub-team goals to reveal discrepancies. Openly discuss these findings, fostering dialogue on how individual contributions propel the larger objective. Collaboratively redefine or create SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) that directly support the overall aim. Establish robust Key Performance Indicators to objectively track progress and enable necessary course corrections. Implement regular reviews to maintain alignment and maximise impact. This approach unifies efforts, driving collective success, and impactful outcomes.

When team objectives feel disjointed, it’s vital to unify everyone toward a common goal. One effective strategy is to create a shared vision document that outlines not only objectives but also the team’s overarching mission. This visual reference can serve as a constant reminder of what everyone is working toward. Additionally, leveraging digital tools for real-time updates can enhance alignment. Platforms that allow for collaborative goal tracking help team members stay informed and engaged. By promoting a culture of transparency and open dialogue, teams can quickly adjust to shifting priorities.
