Avoid
Task-only goal framing, siloed recognition, and habits that disconnect individual effort from broader team success.
Shared goals. Meaningful recognition.
Goals and Incentives
This pillar focuses on aligning people, priorities, and incentives in ways that support both team outcomes and individual contribution.
Purpose
Connect goals, contribution, and recognition more clearly.
The work here is about more than incentives alone. It is about making goals feel shared, contribution feel visible, and recognition feel connected to how the organization wants to work.
- Reduce siloed goal-setting.
- Create stronger recognition for both visible wins and invisible work.
- Support more connected, ecosystem-level thinking.
