GOAL-SETTING
Clarity
Challenge
Commitment
Feedback
Task Complexity
CLARITY
Clear goals are measurable and unambiguous.
Clear and specific goals result in higher performance.
This is because measurable goals are move effective at
guiding action and behaviour.
CHALLENGE
Goals should be realistic and challenging. When
they are aware where the goal is directed and
anticipates accomplishment people are often motivated.
Rewards typically increase motivation it boost
enthusiasm and the drive to get the task done.
COMMITMENT
Goals must be understood and agreed upon if
they are to be effective. People are more likely to go
along if they feel they were part of creating the goal.
The concept of participative management lies on the
idea of involving the individual in setting goals and in
making decisions.
One version of SMART- for use when you are
working with someone else to set their goals- has A and
R stand for Agreed and Realistic instead of Attainable
and Relevant. Agreed goals lead to commitment.
FEEDBACK
Feedback provides opportunities to clarify
expectations, adjust goal difficulty, and gain
recognition. It’s important to provide benchmark
opportunities or targets, so individuals can determine
for themselves how they’re doing.
SMART goals are Measurable, and this ensures
that clear feedback can be provided.
TASK COMPEXITY
For goals that are highly complex, take special
consideration to ensure that the work doesn’t become
too overwhelming.
It’s therefore important to do the following:
Give the person sufficient time to meet the goal or
improve performance.
Provide enough time for the person to practice or
learn what is expected and required for success.
In order to keep people from being frustrated, goals
should be ATTAINABLE.
The whole point of goal setting is to facilitate
success.
SPECIFIC- has clearly defined targets
-Carol Dweck
WHAT IS MINDSET?
Mindset is as idea discovered by world
renowned Psychologist Carol Dweck, from Stanford
University. She is one of those researchers and in her
book Mindset she discerns between two attitudes: the
fixed mindset and the growth mindset.
Much of who you are on a day-to-day basis
comes from your mindset. Your mindset is the view you
have of your qualities and characteristics- where they
come from and whether they can change.
People with a fixed mindset believe talent is
everything. If they’re not gifted with the ability to do
something, they think they’re doomed to be a failure.
Their skills seem to be written down in their genes, just
like their looks, which is why they never try to improve
in something.
A growth mindset comes from the belief that
your basic qualities are things you can cultivate through
effort. Yes, people differ greatly- in ability, talents,
interests, or temperaments- but everyone can change
and grow through application and experience.
