I have visited many companies where a team does not have clear cut and agreed upon objectives. The usual result is poor performance, low morale and high employee turnover. This is directly related to the fact that the team does not understand what is expected of them personally and they certainly don’t understand how their work benefits the company. A good analogy would be going to your weekly bowling league to find that the bowling alley has put a sheet in front of the pins and has also turned off the automatic scoring system. It won’t take long before everyone on your team gets disillusioned rolling the ball down the alley with no feedback on how they are performing personally as well as the team’s performance.

I have also visited companies where every employee understands their individual contributions to the success of their team as well as the company. In these situations the teams are highly productive, employee morale is high and employee turnover is very low. Employees rarely leave jobs when they understand how their individual performance is contributing to the success of their team and their company.
