Why do teams and organizations often fail to achieve their goals and fall short of delivering on their good intentions? Leaders often focus on securing commitment and buy-in, yet commitment is rarely the problem. Also, the issue isn't just understanding the goal and knowing what needs to be done. Teams and individuals often understand and know, yet aren't successful at doing (the ""knowing-doing"" gap). In this interactive Harvard Business Review webinar, motivational expert Heidi Halvorson helps individuals and teams improve the attainment of their goals. Halvorson explains why people and organizations often don't do what they intend, shares insights from neuroscience, describes the two key pitfalls of execution, and describes what if-then planning is and why it significantly increases the odds of executional success.
