Goal Setting for Improving Results- 'You're not the Boss of Me!'
How many times have you heard it said---'to succeed in life, you need to have goals'? Goals--goals---goals---- have you lost faith in the process of setting goals? I find that a majority of my clients find the process of Goal Setting for improving results is uncomfortable.
Why? Because most of us have lost faith in the process of goal setting for improving results. For many of you, your business goals have been set for you by your boss or your bosses boss or your bosses- bosses- boss! Goals set for you are not realistic, not attainable and rarely involve your buy-in.
You loose faith....in the concept, the process and the possibilities of goal setting for improving results because they are not your goals!
