These articles are built around a ten-step goal-setting process that takes you from a broad statement of intent to a fully resourced, time-bound action plan: writing the goal as a positive statement; setting a specific deadline; defining terms with words, numbers and visual images; identifying the key performance indicators that will track progress; naming the skills, knowledge and material resources required; validating the timeline with your team; and then committing to immediate action.
Goal setting is also a team skill, not just an individual one. A team whose members do not share a clear, agreed goal will inevitably fragment under pressure. These articles explore how to set goals at the individual, team and organisational level, and how to maintain focus on those goals when the day-to-day noise threatens to pull attention away from what matters most.
