One of the greatest organizational learning tools ever invented is the individual quarterly plan.  In the Execution Discipline, every person in the company works with his/her team leader to develop Individual Plans for the upcoming quarter.  These individual goals are reviewed and checked for alignment with company goals.  This quarterly plan serves as a timesaving template for a weekly status report.  The result is that every individual in the company (if applicable) learns how to set goals, understands company priorities, takes responsibility for their own goals, learns to become accountable, reports progress and uses their innovative capabilities to solve problems.
