Financial writer Morgan Housel once remarked, “the long run is just a collection of short runs“.   Executives must have a long-term vision, but simultaneously manage the day to day that ultimately realizes that vision.

To that end, it’s important for your employee to create the short terms. A short article from “PwC research shows that employees who set short-term goals are more likely to hit performance targets and be happy at work. Leaders can amplify that dynamic.”

Put another way, helping your team members put some “points on the board” may create momentum that has far reaching effects because “Small Wins Can Yield Big Outcomes.”
