By setting yourself up for success and focusing on no more than two objectives, you can exceed expectations and drive your narrative in the organization. Don’t miss out on this episode’s gems that will help you thrive in your career.
Key Takeaways in this Episode:
- Importance of SMART Objectives: Setting clear, specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) objectives is crucial for success in the workplace. SMART goals help drive your narrative, demonstrate value, and increase the likelihood of exceeding expectations.
- Under Promise, Over Deliver: Instead of setting unrealistic stretch goals, focus on setting goals that you know you can achieve. By under promising and over delivering, you increase your chances of receiving higher ratings, promotions, and compensation.
- Use Objectives to Drive Your Narrative: Your objectives should align with the organization’s goals and contribute to its success. Use your KPIs or targets to tell a compelling story about your achievements and progress. Regularly review and track your goals to stay on target and showcase your value to the organization.
