the president of GM, said that the most important part of
the company’s turnaround was the setting of clear goals for
each key person and at each level of the organization.
Before taking the position, he found that goals throughout
the organization were vague, unclear, unenforced, and
rarely achieved. After establishing clear, specific goals, all
employees knew exactly what they had to do to keep their
job and to move ahead.
Remember, the most wonderful talent you have is your
ability to think, especially to think things through in advance.
The more time you take to think and plan, on paper, the bet-
ter results you will get, and the faster you will get those
results.
