2010 Goal and Accomplishment

By Michael | August 27, 2010

“One of the challenges of good leadership is maintaining priorities. Many things compete for your time, energy, money, and learning to say no to many good things is hard to do”.
- Doug Dickerson

Can you believe 2010 is two-thirds over?  We have 4 months remaining to accomplish our goals and take action on development plans. NOW is the time to review organizational and personal goals and assess unfinished business.

Questions to review include:
Have achieved goals been acknowledged and recognized?
What targets have been missed or neglected?
Does your organization have a talent retention plan?
Does it have leadership bench-strength?
Is technical savvy sufficient to keep abreast of changing times?
Have relationship enhancements occurred as needed?
Has action been taken on becoming more courageous leaders?

As a reminder Courageous leaders:
1.    Have and live a dream.
2.    Document goals.
3.    Commit to goals.
4.    Understand personal and team strengths.
5.    Communicate.
6.    Address conflict.
7.    Develop others.
8.    Delegate.
9.    Enhance a skill.
10.  Remain controlled.
11.  Give rewards.
12.  Succeed and learn from failure.

Answering the questions listed above and utilizing the courageous leadership skills will position you to take appropriate actions to differentiate between IMPORTANT  issues (those which contribute heavily to goals and objectives and have high value) from URGENT issues (those that require immediate attention but may not contribute to the success of meeting goals and objectives).

All of our behaviors are intended to support our goals, mission, and vision.  Don’t get derailed by being consumed by urgent issues – saying “no” is indeed an option!

Leadership tip of the week – Goal Setting

By Admin | December 5, 2008


“People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them could ever imagine.”.
- Brian Tracy

***************************
TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL GOAL SETTING
“Concentrate on finding your goal, then concentrate on reaching it.”
- Col. Michael Friedsam
*****************
“Write it down. Written goals have a way of transforming wishes into wants; cant’s into cans; dreams into plans; and plans into reality. Don’t just think it – ink it!”
- author unknown
*****************
Set and achieve your goals by applying one of these four “D’s” to anything that gets in your way:

  • Drop it
  • Delegate it
  • Delay it
  • Do it

- John Lee, time management expert
******************
Also, don’t forget about the SMART system. Goals should be:

  • S – Specific
  • M – Measurable
  • A – Actionable
  • R – Realistic
  • T – Timebound

Dear Leaders,

It’s hard to believe the year is almost over; 2009 is rapidly approaching and now is the time to have your goals written and communicated to those who will help you achieve them.

Your goals, along with your vision and mission help you and your organization clearly understand what is to be accomplished. They also identify optimal behaviors, situations, and relationships.

The successful leader leverages them to:

§ communicate a clear, simple, customer-focused direction for the organization

§ be forward thinking, stretch the horizons and challenge imaginations

§ inspire and energize others to commit to the vision and supporting goals

§ engage others and to lead by example.

Motivational speaker Dave Grant proposes that the best strategy for many is to start small. “Start with small goals and gain an experience of accomplishment and success,” advises Grant. “Once you learn you can go after something and make it happen, it makes it that much easier to set and achieve bigger and bigger goals.”

Remember, however, that achieving any goal is not done by magic. There is work involved. A first step recommended by Grant is to set a target date for achieving the goal and to write it and the goal itself down.

“Most people fail in their goal-setting because they’re just thinking about their goals. They’re not committed to them,” explains Grant.

“Thinking is not a commitment. Writing it down is.”

Happy goal setting!

Sincerely,

Michael W. Kublin &
Jan Mayer-Rodriguez
“Success is the progressive realization of predetermined, worthwhile goals”

-Paul J. Meyer
