Setting goals within your sphere and helping employees set and reach goals is a critical part of every manager’s job. Staff members at all levels want to see how their work contributes to the larger Organizational strategy, and setting the right targets makes this connection clear for everyone.

For goals to be meaningful and effective in motivating employees, they must be tied to the larger organizational vision. Employees who don’t understand the roles they play in the success of the Organization are more likely to become disengaged. By setting goals at the division, department and individual level that are clearly in alignment with the Organization’s strategic plan and vision, the likelihood of achieving the goals and obtaining the necessary resources is greatly enhanced. In this session, managers/supervisors will learn how to:

• Set effective goals and coach employees to do the same

• Bridge the gap beginning with organizational level strategy and ending with individual goal setting

• Act as a translator for your staff—making sure employees understand the Organizational mission, values and strategy and how their day-to-day tasks fit into the big picture.
