Goal Setting

Quote If you don't know where you are going, you're likely to wind up somewhere else! Page 2 www.readysetpresent.com

Quotes ”Can you tell me please which way I ought to go from here?” “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat. “I don’t much care where,” said Alice. “Then it doesn’t matter which way you walk,” said the Cat. Page 3 www.readysetpresent.com

What Can Happen (1 of 3) Employees at all levels without work goals often have about as much direction as Alice, which explains why, to their superiors, they sometimes look like they have fallen down rabbit holes and ended up at Mad Hatters’ tea parties. It matters a good deal which way one walks when there’s a goal up ahead to act as a beacon. Page 4 www.readysetpresent.com

What Can Happen (3 of 3) Goals can give employees control over their own jobs and, at the same time, give managers a tool for monitoring their employees’ performance. All this is at no cost to the organization! Page 6 www.readysetpresent.com
