Employee goals should align with the organization's priorities—whether it's reducing costs, increasing revenue, or developing new skills—while keeping employees motivated to excel. In this course, Mike Figliuolo, managing director of thoughtLEADERS, teaches you how to set SMART goals: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.
Using the SMART framework, you'll learn to create meaningful and attainable goals tailored to each employee's role. Mike explores different goal-setting approaches, including bottom-up, zero-based, commit, and stretch goals. He also demonstrates how to use goals to drive behavioral change, enhance employee skills, and implement incentives for success. Finally, he provides a step-by-step plan for setting and executing goals effectively, along with strategies to navigate challenges like conflicting objectives.
