Goal Setting Secrets that Get Results and Inspire Excellence

Course Description:

How do you inspire others to achieve Team or Organizational goals?  How do sell the vision, keep them focused, and gain their buy-in?

Goal setting is crucial for business success. Yet many organizations and managers often fail to achieve goals and strategic planning targets.  Why? 

• some goals are unrealistic,
• they fail to consider resources and capabilities, and
• employees don’t believe the rewards equal the energy needed to achieve them.

Learning which goals are deal-breakers and inspiring your team to get projects done on-time and on-target requires specific skills, an understanding of your employees and key management know-how. 

In this power-packed audio conference, you’ll learn practical tools and methods you can use to:

• achieve goals and inspire excellence from your direct reports,
• kick-start team productivity and effectiveness, and
• reinforce every individual’s role in attaining personal, team and organizational goals.

During this hands-on session, you’ll also learn:

• What defines an effective goal
• Best practices for moving beyond the business plan to execution
• Why and how to narrow the number of goals for success
• Methods to motivate even the most difficult employee to meet goals
• Why intimidation doesn’t work
• Which goals deliver the highest return on time invested
• How to engage management and associate projects with organizational goals
• Methods for tracking team execution, speed and accountability
• Common goal roadblocks and ways to avoid them
