Goal Setting: A Fresh Perspective


Source: Taleo Marketing

Goals are the bridge that connects business strategy to successful results. When we set goals, we’re looking for ways to break strategy down into relevant, measurable, and attainable elements—all of which combine to drive that strategy so the organization can achieve numerous benefits, including improved shareholder value, greater profitability, increased revenue, and inspired innovation.

Goal Setting is also critically important to individuals and their managers. After all, it’s human nature to feel both satisfaction and self-confidence when we make progress towards—and meet—our objectives. Goals also promote more useful interaction between managers and their direct reports, as well as among teams, so that they can better align plans, monitor milestones, and make course corrections when needed.
