Question
Having a concrete objective in an Action Plan is beneficial as it provides a clear direction and specific goals for employees to achieve. It helps them focus on the bigger mission while also giving them a set of concrete steps to follow. This can lead to increased productivity and efficiency, as employees know exactly what they need to do and can plan their work accordingly. Furthermore, it can also improve communication and collaboration within the team, as everyone is working towards the same objective.

Why do so many plans fail? Bill Gates notes that people often confuse "mission", which is directional, with "objectives", which are a set of concrete steps they actually engage in. He said, "Having a good mission is not enough. You need a concrete objective, and you need to know how you're going to get there." Action Plans do just that: they help employees focus on the bigger mission, but they also provide a set of concrete, specific goals for them to succeed.
