The GoalIn order for a team to succeed, they must have a clear goal that is attainable, specific, andmeasurable. Without concisely describing the goal and listing performance objectives in such away that it can be clearly shown if they have been achieved,12 the success of the team is unlikely.In fact, in research conducted by Larson and LaFasto, they found that in every case of aneffective team, members felt the team had a clear understanding of the team goal
