As anyone with experience will tell you, setting goals involves more than drawing up a list of targets -- however carefully those targets are calculated. This great, fully interactive course gives you the background to the need for goal setting, and how to do it productively. And it's presented in a way that's really easy to understand, too! Whether you apply what we say to important personal goals, or those you set for people you manage, you'll find that the techniques we show you here take you from first principles to professional management. And achieving results won't just be easier, but more controlled -- and enjoyable -- too!
All you need to understand about goals We want you to understand the WHY, as well as the HOW, so this course comes in six parts.
Firstly, we show you how important goals are, and then why it's important to avoid starting any task without preparation.
Next, we show how it's important to define what you want, and how you're going to get there.
We show you how using the Three Ps will set them up in the right way.
And no course on goals would be complete without explaining how setting SMART Goals will provide the motivational foundation for success.
We then take things further by covering Stretch Goals -- which enable you to get even more performance when you see potential for it.
And the final module is devoted to Objectives and Key Results (or OKRs) which is the best way to set and manage goals in an inclusive team environment.
