In this video, Entrepreneur Network partner Brian Tracy says that the daily turbulence of the business landscape has lead many executives to only look at problems in the short-term, and because of this, they only make a little headway towards goals that will truly matter in the long-term.

Setting clear goals is the first step to thinking ahead. As a leader, your ability to give your employees a clear sense of direction of their work is important. Tracy mentions many employees unmotivated due to a lack of goals.
