A goal is a multiple-meaning word, used as well in the business world as in sports in general. A goal, in management for instance, is the main objective that a person or a body of persons plans to achieve. In a company, setting goals is probably the most important thing to do in order to distribute and coordinate the tasks among employees, to implement business strategies in-between a time-bracket of a certain duration and to make sure the work effort points towards the right direction.
