Goal setting is something that many of us recognize as a vital part of achieving success. By understanding goal-setting theory, you can apply Locke and Lathams principles to your goals. Their research confirms the usefulness of SMART goal setting, and their theory continues to influence the way that we measure performance today. To use this tool, set clear, challenging goals and commit yourself to achieving them. Be sure to provide feedback to others on their performance towards achieving their goals, and reflect on your own progress as well. Also, consider the complexity of the task, and break your goals down into smaller chunks, where appropriate. If you follow these simple rules, your goal setting will be much more successful, and your overall performance will improve. [ Mindtools]
