Leadership Insights

Secrets to Goal Setting

Well-designed goals are a powerful tool to inspire results and create focus on getting the most important work done. Many of us have been taught to create detailed SMART goals, but these often focus on tasks rather than big initiatives. Plus, they are often too rigid to allow for unforeseen changes in the organization.  

Instead, individual goals should describe what and how the staff or faculty member will impact their college or unit’s key priorities and how they will know they are successful in doing so.
