1. Visualize the Goals: Create a shared vision board or project plan to represent the team's objectives visually. This visual tool helps everyone see the big picture and how their contributions contribute to the overall goal. 2. Regularly Revisit and Adjust Goals: Schedule regular team meetings to review and reassess goals. Be open to adjusting goals as needed to adapt to changing circumstances or priorities. Encourage team members to provide feedback and suggestions for improvement. 3. Celebrate Milestones and Achievements: Recognizing and celebrating accomplishments, both big and small, can boost team morale and motivation. Publicly acknowledging individual and team contributions can reinforce a sense of shared purpose.

To have the team aligned on the specific goals it is important that they are involved in formulating the same as well. The goal setting should be a collaborative exercise conducted by dialogues rather than delivering a monologue about the same. The bigger organisation's goal should be kept in front and the team encouraged to come up with ways to contribute to that based on their skills and those can be eventually defined as the team goals. Collaboration and inclusion in the goal setting process will ensure the team is on the same page and that they strive together towards attaining the defined objective.

First of all ask yourself as a leader, how you have contributed to this situation. What have you done or not done that caused this problem. After you reflected on your own actions, take certain actions to a) clean up this mess in a sustainable way and b) make sure its not happening again. For starters, bring your gang together and get a common understanding why scattered team goals are bad... very bad. Once everyone understood the WHY, you set up a good workshop structure. Get help if needed (e.g. a moderator aka workshop facilitator). Your team objective has to be in line with your company objective. Then derive "areas of doing" with clear responsibilities and smart goals. Its important that your team is giving 90% of the input.

- I’d start by organizing a 'goal alignment workshop' to bring everyone together and ensure we’re all on the same page. - During the workshop, we’d 'list out' all the team’s goals, giving us a clear view of what’s currently in focus. - I’d then help the team connect their goals to broader 'business objectives', showing how their work contributes to overall success. - Together, we’d 'prioritize the goals' that align most closely with the business and deliver the highest value, ensuring our efforts have maximum impact. - Finally, we’d identify 'interdependencies' between goals to streamline collaboration and ensure smooth execution.
