Got Goals? Work the System with the Power of Tiny Habits

CONCERN: EAP

If goals are the destinations we want to reach someday, then the systems we put in place are the paths we take to get there. Those paths might be long or short, direct or winding, downhill or up, but we must walk them to reach our goals, no matter what.The more we commit to the system, instead of just the end goal, the more progress we can make.

HR then blames bad managers for running off good people, and the managers push back complaining that executives do not give them enough time or training to manage their people properly.
