An example closer to home would be how you use goal-setting in your own life. Unless you know clearly that you want to have more energy, be stronger, more flexible and resilient, and cough less, you will not be focused enough to find solutions that match your goals. Sometimes a team mission statement is straightforward, for example, to recommend the best solution to a specific problem and little time is required for all to understand the mission. Team members can immediately develop their approach and performance goals. Other times, teams have a fuzzy idea about why they have been brought together and need to make delineating that the first order of business.
Teams run things, recommend things or make and do things.
Every member needs to know the purpose of the team, and needs to be able to state it in twenty words or less. Harper Collins, 1993.
