Goal Setting and Monitoring

The evidence is clear that the process of Goal Setting, if undertaken effectively, produces success and profitability on both the individual and organizational levels. Effective Goal Setting processes substantially decrease the chances of organizational inefficiency, and therefore reduce the chance of falling behind competitors in an increasingly competitive external business environment.

“Goals can reduce stress if they are few in number. This is because goals not only provide people with a sense of purpose, they enable people to see the progress they are making in relation to the goals. Goals remove the ambiguity as to the criteria for which you and others will hold yourself accountable. The downside of goal setting is the necessity of finding ways to obtain goal commitment. Without commitment there is no goal.”
