My take on why goal cascades are harmful and what to do instead

Riffing off of John Cutler’s post on why goal cascades are harmful and what to do instead…

If collective goals matter, you need some way of creating coherence.

“The very business of getting an organisation made up of individuals, no matter how disciplined, to pursue a collective goal produces friction just as surely as applying the brakes of a car.”
