At the root of all success is a vision and intention. We must learn to set achievable goals.
I lead teams.
I lead meetings.
I teach leaders to lead.
I can see the end result, because I have defined it clearly.
I set a goal to be in shape. I have expressed the goal in terms of running a certain distance in a certain amount of time. I can't accomplish that goal without the following:
The belief that I will succeed... A description of what it looks like when I have succeeded... A long-term vision... Short-term goals... A weekly schedule... A daily plan of action...That works for my work, as well as for my running.
What about your work?
What about your life?
Goals are SMART!
S = Specific
M = Measurable
A = Accountable
R = Realistic
T = Timed
Note to the frantic and weary: The "A" for accountable provides the traction that makes goals work. Check out my Podcast 32: Setting Powerful Goals That Work
