Goals define what we want to achieve within each role. Roles are more specific than our mission, but they still aren't specific enough to let us make clear plans. We need to take another step, this time breaking our roles into goals. In answer, we create goals, specific results that we want to accomplish at specific times. These goals become the basis for our weekly and daily planning.
Goals are the building blocks of our mission and our roles.
From these goals we can create specific action plans that will help us succeed in our roles and fulfill our mission. Goals can be lifelong, intermediate, or short term. Goals usually have a deadline. They are usually broken down into steps, with each step having its own deadline. When all of the separate deadlines are reached, the overall goal has been achieved.
