During Goal Setting Workshops NM Companies Learn How To Focus
by Andrew Reed
In order to compete in the modern business environment a company needs to be tough, creative and productive. Unfortunately, far too many people still equates productivity with being busy. This is no the case. If teams work hard, but without very specific goals to strive toward, their efforts may be in vain. Setting goals is an art form in itself. During <a href="www.thesuccessgrower.com/services/">goal setting workshops NM</a> companies can learn how to direct their efforts towards purposeful outcomes.
Many people still think that a goal is some kind of intention to achieve something. They would think that a statement such as I must lose some weight constitutes a goal. It is most definitely not an objective. Objectives, or goals, need to be very specific and they must comply with certain criteria. Poor goals inevitably lead to poor productivity and a waste of valuable resources.
One of the main characteristics of a proper objective is that it will contain an active and measurable verb. Here is one terrible example. We will understand the principles that guide the manufacturing of fourth generation smart phones. This is not an objective because there is no measurable verb. One cannot measure the extent to which someone understands something. An objective simply has to contain an action verb that can be measured.
If one has an objective to bake twenty bran muffins then there is certainly an action verb that can be observed. One can see how the muffins are baked. There is an element missing, however. A good objective will also indicate the standard to which the objective must be achieved. In this example, the objective should be to bake twenty bran muffins that will be approved by the home industry council. If the muffins are not approved, then the objective has not been achieved.
The last element of a good objective is the inclusion of a time frame. It should stipulate when the objective will be achieved. The objective should therefore be to bake twenty bran muffins by 15 May 2018 that will be approved by the home industry council. This is a true objective. Its achievement can be observed, the date when it is achieved can be checked and the standard to which it is achieved can be measured.
Formulating goals is just the first step towards success. The next phase is to convert the goals into action plans. Each objective must be broken down into smaller steps that must also be measurable and observable. If each smaller step is completed successfully, then the achievement of the greater objective is almost assured. Action plans are therefore very important.
There are many individuals and companies that offer seminars and courses on how to set goals. When planning such a workshop it is important to obtain valid references and to check them out. The presenter should be familiar with the vision of the company because that will enable him to teach delegates to set goals that will contribute towards that vision.
When one examines floundering companies the lack of proper goals will almost always pop up as one of the main sources of their woes. Goals are important because they provide direction and purpose to teams and individuals. Learning to set proper goals should be a priority for all companies.
