Goals are necessary—we know this. Breaking them down into doable pieces, constructing timelines in which they are accomplished, and constantly evaluating and reporting success or failure are pieces of the process where most goals remain unfinished.
Leaders change the perception that goals and timelines are made but can be forgotten. A leader starts with identifying worthwhile goals with his or her teams, soliciting, if not requiring, participation from team members at the outset, so the people with the ideas become the ones who own their implementation once a goal is decided.
Leaders help teams track progress without micromanaging—and here is where the leader’s task is both challenging and enjoyable. A leader knows he or she is leading well when the team tracks and reports to the leader because they want to, and the leader does not have to chase down information or hound people to do their jobs.
Set goals with your team, then transfer ownership to faithful stewards who accomplish tasks, build the people, and report to you consistently, following your model. When you do this you are leading well.
