People should be able to find
the goals in 3 seconds.
Email is competing with goal achievement, so
make goals as present as the inbox. It should be
as easy to find and work on truly important
things as it is the last incoming message.

Define the work needed
Drive consistent execution
Hold people accountable
Model the behavior you seek
