Supercharge Your Growth Experience: Set a Goal

You’ve probably had the experience of setting a goal for yourself in order to accomplish a task. Maybe it was an activity goal – the number of steps you took in a day; or being able to check an item off your to-do list. Setting a goal creates motivation and behavior to accomplish the goal. Setting goals is also a way to be accountable for action, whether it’s for yourself or for others. 

Well, the same logic applies to leadership development. Researchers in goal-setting theory show that goals not only affect behavior as well as job performance, but they also help mobilize energy which leads to a higher effort overall. One study found that over 90% of the time, goals that were specific and challenging, but not overly challenging, led to higher performance when compared to easy goals or goals that were too generic. *
