Goal Setting is a process that starts with deciding on an objective you wish to achieve, developing an action plan, and then taking active steps to achieve the desired outcome. In the workplace context, it means setting goals (be in the business, team, or individual goals) for a given period (e.g. quarterly), specifying the tasks and projects to achieve the goals, and eventually working on them to achieve the business outcomes. Goal Setting enables you to aim for better results and achieve outcomes more effectively. It helps us align work expectations with our direct reporting managers, tighten the linkage between the broader company and our goals to better see purpose and meaning in our work, and motivates us to carry out our goals and achieve them. Goal setting provides a mechanism for transparent conversations with your direct reporting manager on the objectives, and priorities as well as how these inform your day-to-day work.
