Three management theories guide the alignment process. The first is goal-setting theory. This states that the mere setting of difficult-but-achievable goals is a significant motivator of performance. Goals help employees to pursue activities that support the overall objectives of the organization. Difficult goals generally lead to greater effort, persistency and focus. Tight deadlines lead to a more rapid work pace and the application of relevant skills.
