Description

To be successful at work it is important to set goals. Goals give us focus and direction, but goals are not enough on their own. Committing to the process is what makes the difference. An action plan is needed to keep us on track, to make progress and achieve long-term goals. The amusing case study from the Cutting Edge team covers the importance of goals as we hear various examples of goals from the team.In this course learn that goals must be specific, measurable and achievable with viable steps in place. They must be relevant and achieved within a set timeframe (SMART goals). Persistence is needed to get through the challenges and obstacles. The key is to aim high but remain realistic, and use short-term or mini-goals to help us achieve the final goal.
