Strategic Goal Setting

Once in a while – or perhaps rather often – you must set goals for the team you lead, mustn’t you?

And these goals (the goals that you set) – they better be strategic. Isn’t this true?

Wouldn’t you love to have a tool to help you consistently set strategic goals?

Well … you are in luck, because I am going to give you a simple tool that will help you accomplish just that.

This tool has the following two characteristics …

Second – use these questions as a checklist, but NOT as if they were written in stone – meaning – you may use them as they are, or you may use only a few of them, and/or you may add questions of your own, and/or you may change some of these questions, etc.

This tool is flexible and you can adapt it to meet your specific needs – depending on your particular circumstances.

In other words – these questions are meant to get your imagination and creativity going.
