It's that time of year--leaders everywhere are charging employees with the task of establishing goals for 2018. If you've never been through a structured process, this exercise can be daunting, and frankly, feel like a big waste of time. I can assure you, it's not.
Setting goals is critical. Goals provide direction, help you focus, prioritize your time and energy, and ensure that you can objectively prove you've advanced the company's agenda.
But just any goal won't do. Research shows that goals are not only important but also that the level of specificity and difficulty matters. Goals that are both clear and challenging drive higher levels of performance.
To set their teams up for success, many organizations use SMART goals. Google leaders use something a little different--"Objectives and Key Results" (OKRs). On Google's re:Work site, a resource that shares the company's perspective on people operations, Google explains the concept. Via The Learning Factor

I like the OKR's concept and see in working around the place. It really works when there's humanity happening and not just data use

This is a very interesting way to set goals. I've heard of many different ways, however, have never been introduced to this. I like the collaborative effort, the transparency, and the simplicity. There are different templates that can be used. I'm still reviewing what is out there I'm leaning towards Weekdone. I can see the framework working not only as a company goal setting plan, it can work as a family or personal goal planning system.

This could be a goal-setting technique that may work for you! Goal setting is a daunting task, but one we really need to master. OKR, Objective and Key Results, allows you to dream big and then figure out how you will measure your progress. |
