Objective-setting: Add ONE MAGIC INGREDIENT!

TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO GOOGLE 'OBJECTIVE SETTING'. You will be told what the cliche 'SMART' acronym stands for but not much in the way of examples. And any that are given are the obvious ones: eg 'Increase sales by X'! And some aren't objectives at all: 'Put together a plan of action by X date' is just a task! It's no wonder that 86% of objectives are poorly-worded, don't get the desired results and people-managers struggle with the process.

Never more than now has being really clear around results expectations been so important. Hybrid and remote working mean that managers can struggle with visibility around performance and what's getting done. Our approach resolves this once and for all!

Take a look at our short video below on more powerful objective-setting:
