Manage episode 325409191 series 2804959
Goal setting is a common personal and professional phenomenon. One of the most common time to set a goal is at the new year. We hear of our friends, family and colleagues setting goals for the year which can be as simple as improving your sleeping habits to securing a promotion. But what is even more common is not following it through; many-a-times the goals remain as goals.
Right from the school days we have heard of SMART goals. So, is it that your goals were not SMART enough that you could not follow through? May be it's time to move from SMART to SMARTER goals.
People often lack commitment, connection and a compelling sense to work towards achievement of the goals. There is a need to have the Emotional connection and Reward elements in the goal. Goals need drivers to be realised. Of the 135 emotions that we experience, you will be surprised to know that there are 8 goal drivers.
