The Planning Disciplines - Well-defined goals are among the most effective communications tools available to any leader-yet most leaders don't know how to set goals that lead their people in the right direction.  The result of this Planning Discipline is to produce goals that are both clear and measurable.  Pursuing these goals will lead the people in the organization to align their daily activities with the vital few objectives set in the Strategy Discipline.  The result is a brief company goals statement that every team member can understand and support in their daily activities.
