2013 Goal-setting Strategies for Work-Life Balance and Productivity (Part 2 – Video)

by | Dec 4, 2012 | Career Development, Coaching Advice

If you haven’t started thinking about your goals for next 2013, you better get cracking!  In this three part video series, and December webinar on the subject, we’re evaluating what makes a good goal statement – the kind that is more likely to be achieved!

Simple goal statements like “in 2013 we will increase revenues 10%” are fine on PowerPoints and year-end reviews but they lack a lot of necessary information to help those responsible for achieving them be successful. Sometimes we use “objectives” as higher level goals statements to try to provide this greater context, but I want to suggest that you use Intentions instead. Intentions are specifically designed to include the information necessary – including a broader picture of success – that enables you to be flexible creative and innovative when reality throws you a curve-ball. Intentions work on both an individual and team level.

Watch the video below for more and to receive a quick exercise you can do right now to help you learn to set Intentions.

I believe I have found the chink in the armor of servant-based leadership, which is that when only some people are served, everyone does not feel protected. Instead, they feel vulnerable.
