   Abstract:
   Proper beginnings in business plans play a vital role in identifying and quantifying an organization's future improvement or innovation efforts. Business managers should start it with the setting of direction, and once the direction is clear, it is easy to develop focus and team spirit. Managers must set goals to their teams or employees using a specific, measurable, attainable, results-oriented, and time-bound (SMART) approach while assigning jobs or launching teams or group efforts. An efficient leader must also use beginnings as an important tool to generate enthusiasm and commitment within his teams. Holding staff meetings early in week can help the team to focus on what needs to be done to achieve near-term measurable goals.
