This is the time of year when you should be setting those goals that will drive results for the rest of your year (and setting the stage for 2012).
But here’s a shocking statistic: Right now, only 15% of employees believe that the goals you’ve set for them will help them achieve great results. Think about that: What’s the point of even setting goals if employees say they’re not going to achieve significant results? (Imagine if a football coach gave a pregame speech and as a result, only 15% of the players believed they would win the game).
Leaders like Jeff Bezos at Amazon, or the late Steve Jobs at Apple, know how to inspire “above and beyond” performance from their people. And whether you’re trying to inspire a sales force, a few employees or an entire company, you need to know the science of goals that create extraordinary performance.
Our research shows that employees with great goals are 27 times more likely to recommend your organization to others as a great place for people to work! But many of our current goal-setting approaches, like SMART Goals, just aren’t working. In fact, only 13% of employees say their SMART Goals will maximize their full potential. Fortunately, with a new goal-setting approach called HARD Goals, you breathe new life into your goals (and even radically improve the performance of your SMART Goals).
This 60-minute teleconference and webinar called “Setting Goals That Push People to Greatness” will show you:
- The shocking gender differences that explain why men and women set their goals so differently
- The 4 tests that every goal has to pass or it’s doomed to failure
- A 3-part test for assessing whether your goals are too difficult or not difficult enough
- How Steve Jobs and Apple use highly visual goals to inspire creative breakthroughs
- The 3 hidden flaws that set-up SMART Goals for failure
- Whether or not you should use a competitive threat or rival to motivate great performance
- How to decide when you should set goals that utilize peoples’ strengths or strengthen their weaknesses
- 2 steps to take your existing SMART Goals and make them more powerful
- How to make your goals as critical to our continued existence as breathing
- Why you should NOT give people all the Skills, Budget, Time and Authority they need to complete their goals
- How to turn HARD Goals into career development plans
- How the CEO of 1-800-Got-Junk used a visualization technique to set his goals and immediately got featured on Oprah
- How to double the urgency people feel so they start their goals immediately
