Goal Setting Training for Teams

What is Goal Setting management all about?

Goals are the easiest entities to define and understand. The definition of identifying something that you want to accomplish and establishing measurable steps with timeframes are called goals.

When someone decides to master a new language and joins a class and is regularly practicing the lessons taught each day, then the person is on a goal-journey.

What are the duties of a Goal Setting manager?

Goals are for anyone and everyone. They may be short term or long term but all of them provide long term vision and short-term motivation. It focusses our acquisition of knowledge, helps us organize our time, and maximize our resources (talents, gifts and networks) to make the most of our life.

Goals make life more challenging, but at the same time, they give you a sense of personal satisfaction. Setting and reaching your personal goals help you appreciate your capabilities and gives you an idea of your full potential. Goal Setting is the principal tool for helping you reach your full potential.

If goals are so easy to define and understand and critical to our continued success in work and life, then why do most of us fail to set correct goals or not achieve them or fall short.

A goal without a plan is only a dream

At Bodhih, Goal Setting skills training is a popular session that is part of a larger HR skills intervention suite.

The session draws richly from personal development and management literature.

Goal Setting skills workshop starts off with the trainer briefing the audience about the importance and relevance of developing Big Hairy Audacious Goals or SMART goals format. SMART stands for specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely. At the heart of creating impactful business results lies the creation of SMART goals. Through group activity and facilitator led discussions, the learners are guided through adopting an inclusive growth pattern and being aware of the three cardinal traps of missing goals – Not attending to deadlines, wastage of time, and managing distractions.

At Bodhih’s workshop on Goal Setting management, these subjects receive in-depth discussion and rigorous attention.

Thereafter with videos as instructional aide, class exercise, and facilitator led discussion that triggers individual & group activity, the Goal Setting skills workshop moves in to deliberating techniques. Learners are instructed on how to make goals become daily responsibilities, how to compare KRA’s (key responsibility areas) with KPI’s (key performance indicators), Evolve metrics and ranking parameters, Ensuring accuracy and course corrections and Navigations.

Bodhih’s Goal Setting workplace programs are incomplete without participants comprehending the “bell curve performance review systems” – in theory and practice. So, in the next session with the help of a group discussion, the class audience is instructed on deciphering results and taught culturally sensitive styles to communicate appraisals.

What is the central premise of Bodhih’s Goal Setting smart theory?

What you hear, you forget; what you see, you remember; what you do, you understand

This saying is central to the next insightful module when participants through case studies, class activity and role plays conduct mock performance coaching sessions. They apply learnings in life-like simulated feedback sessions. Performance management philosophy, diagnosing performance issues, preparing coaching plan, structured feedback process and the rhythms of providing and taking feedback – these subjects come under the scanner as learners are stepped through the various nuances.
