Fire and Forget Goal Setting

from The Leader's Kitbag

In this episode of The Leaders Kit Bag, I unpack a common leadership pitfall I call "fire and forget goal setting" - when we set big, ambitious goals for our team, then disappear, hoping for the best.  Setting the target isn’t enough. Support, guidance, and course correction are essential to turn bold goals into real achievements.  You’ll learn:  Why goals that feel manageable to you may feel overwhelming to your team The psychological effect of stretch without support How to break big goals down to keep motivation high The importance of milestones, check-ins and the opportunity to reset A lesson from my own early career that highlights what not to do  Need More Support? If you’d like support with leadership training, coaching or conference speaking, do drop me a line via [email protected], I'd love to help.
