Goal getting
Setting goals can be like making a soufflé. Cook too little and the soufflé is raw, but leave it in the oven for too long and the soufflé will collapse under its own weight.
Similarly, if we set ourselves goals that are too easy, we are unlikely to do anything very differently. We will drift along and, according to the academic research, we are less likely to feel fulfilled, motivated or that our life has direction. But make the goals too tough and we either give up almost as soon as we’ve started or collapse under the pressure of trying to achieve the impossible.
Great goals help us lead great lives. Setting goals that work for us (as well as our company) is not easy but there are techniques that can help.
