Dr. Glenn P. Wallis and Nejmi explore the intricacies of goal setting in leadership, emphasising the importance of setting meaningful, challenging yet achievable goals that drive results. They discuss the pitfalls of prioritising easy tasks over impactful ones, the need for alignment within teams, and the significance of engaging team members in the process.
The conversation highlights the effectiveness of measurement tools such as KPIs, OKRs, the Balanced Scorecard, and North Star metrics, stressing the necessity of monitoring goals to ensure they remain relevant and motivating. They also underscore the value of stretch goals that inspire teams while cautioning against the risks of overloading with too many objectives.
Ultimately, they advocate for cohesive goal-setting strategies that align with the broader organisational purpose and are validated through clear metrics and team engagement.
