#731 - Excerpt from Gung Ho!

"Goal setting is a big problem in most organizations.  The managers think because they print a goal in the annual report or announce it at some meeting, the goal is shared.  They may have shared it, but if the team doesn't commit, it isn't a shared goal."

"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink."

"That's it.  If a horse doesn't drink, it just isn't shared water.  It's the buy in that makes the difference.  It's the commitment to making the goal a reality that has to be shared."
