Dear Readers,<\/p>\n
Last time I asked you what the most important leadership question is for you right now. Your answer: \"How do people become more goal-oriented, see the real goal and take an easy path to get there?\"<\/p>\n
As promised, here's some practical advice in the form of the 5-step framework I've used myself to work with my team in a more goal-oriented way.<\/p>\n
Step 1: Create suction<\/p>\n
Most managers think that you have to get people to work on their goals by incentivizing them to do so.<\/p>\n
I suggest that instead you ask people what they really want.<\/p>\n
If you do, you can expect the following results:<\/p>\n
Identification
\nInsert
\nPassion.
\nStep 2: Collectivize<\/p>\n
Once you've created a pull for goals, you'll likely ask how those goals can specifically help your business.<\/p>\n
Rather than announcing corporate goals, I encourage you to ask for input from the teams.<\/p>\n
Why?<\/p>\n
If you ask employees what contribution they can make, they will embrace success.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Think about the Purpose<\/p>\n
After you have successfully created a pull and defined contributions, it's time to talk about impact:<\/p>\n
Put yourself in the shoes of your customers and other stakeholders.
\nDefine what you want to change in their lives.
\nRealize how this can make the world a better place.
\nStep 4: Develop a routine<\/p>\n
At this point, you are ready to go into practice.<\/p>\n
Once you have completed steps 1 - 3, it should be easy to develop this into a quarterly habit.<\/p>\n
Just don't forget:<\/p>\n
Have the team work on quarterly goals.
\nLet Purpose guide the process.
\nBe part of the team yourself!
\nStep 5: Make results measurable<\/p>\n
That's it! Now it's time to concretize the desired results.<\/p>\n
Tip 1: Quantify the best possible result you can imagine.
\nTip 2: Take a sportsmanlike approach to implementation.
\nTip 3: Involve neighboring departments, customers and management.
\nThis framework works so well because it is a pull process.<\/p>\n
So don't fall into the trap of pushing people to achieve goals.<\/p>\n
Let me know if this type of advice is useful to you and send me some quick feedback.<\/p>\n
Have a great day.<\/p>\n
All the best and warm greetings,<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
