How Good is Your Goal Setting?
|
Posted By: Hija Chang on August 19, 2014 Are you Meeting Your Goals, or Missing out? Think back to a time when you set yourself a goal but didn't achieve it. Perhaps you planned to get fitter, or learn a new language. You probably felt frustrated when you realized that you'd failed. But did you reflect on what went wrong, and think about how you could improve next time? If you repeatedly miss the targets that you've set yourself at work, you may find that your career begins to stall. For example, if you keep failing to develop new skills, other team members might get promoted ahead of you. And if you become known as someone who sets goals but doesn't achieve them, this can affect your professional reputation. Take our short quiz to explore your goal-setting approach, and to learn about some of the obstacles that can get in your way. Then, follow our tips to give yourself the best chance of fulfilling your ambitions.: http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/goa...
