As the year draws to a close, it’s time to reflect on the goals you reached and to choose new goals for the New Year.
By this stage of your life, you already know something about the mechanics of setting goals, translating them into action steps, and ultimately reaching them. In fact, if you’ve spent any time managing projects in organizations, you probably even know about SMART goals. The goals you set provide you with direction in life and are the foundation for your success. (Well, okay, maybe a few times you felt you were blessed with “stupid luck.” Certainly, I have!)
Still, as you pause to set goals, it may be worth asking yourself:
Am I setting goals by default, or am I setting goals that truly matter?
