If a goal does not help move you toward your vision then you may need to consider why you are working toward that goal. Starting with the end in mind, you can look at your end vision and then ask yourself what goals you would need to set in order to achieve that vision.[/x_feature_box][x_feature_box title=” BROAD Goals” title_color=”” text_color=”” graphic=”icon” graphic_size=”45px” graphic_shape=”badge” graphic_color=”#db5842″ graphic_bg_color=”#4293db” align_h=”left” align_v=”top” side_graphic_spacing=”20px” max_width=”none” child=”true” connector_width=”1px” connector_style=”dashed” connector_color=”#272727″ graphic_icon=”check” graphic_animation=”fadeInDown” connector_animation=”fadeIn”]BROAD GOALS: A BROAD goal is a high-level or general goal you want to set. It does not have to be easily measurable, but should give you a general idea of what you are wanting to achieve. A BROAD health goal might be something like ‘Be physically fit.’ A team goal might be to ‘teach people English’ or ‘Provide job skills training’, or ‘Disciple the youth.’ The purpose of BROAD goals is to help you identify even more specific goals that will lead you closer to achieving your vision and mission.[/x_feature_box][x_feature_box title=” SMART Goals” title_color=”” text_color=”” graphic=”icon” graphic_size=”45px” graphic_shape=”badge” graphic_color=”#db5842″ graphic_bg_color=”#4293db” align_h=”left” align_v=”top” side_graphic_spacing=”20px” max_width=”none” child=”true” connector_width=”1px” connector_style=”dashed” connector_color=”#272727″ graphic_icon=”check” graphic_animation=”fadeInDown” connector_animation=”fadeIn”]SMART Goals: SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Action-Oriented, Realistic, and Timebound. If you really want to get things accomplished, it is essential to set SMART goals. This is because if you set a SMART goal, then by definion you have clearly defined who will do exactly what, how, when, and with what result. Try setting a goal and then asking yourself if it meets all of the criteria of ‘SMART’. Keep refining your goal until it does.[/x_feature_box][x_feature_box title=” Include Others” title_color=”” text_color=”” graphic=”icon” graphic_size=”45px” graphic_shape=”badge” graphic_color=”#db5842″ graphic_bg_color=”#4293db” align_h=”left” align_v=”top” side_graphic_spacing=”20px” max_width=”none” child=”true” connector_width=”1px” connector_style=”dashed” connector_color=”#272727″ graphic_icon=”check” graphic_animation=”fadeInDown” connector_animation=”fadeIn”]INCLUDE OTHERS: Involve others in the goal setting process.

Challenging but achievable goals are good. And sometimes people need to be stretched outside of their comfort zones. But in general, people need to be working on goals that represent work they enjoy and are passionate about.[/x_feature_box][x_feature_box title=” Measure” title_color=”” text_color=”” graphic=”icon” graphic_size=”45px” graphic_shape=”badge” graphic_color=”#db5842″ graphic_bg_color=”#4293db” align_h=”left” align_v=”top” side_graphic_spacing=”20px” max_width=”none” child=”true” connector_width=”1px” connector_style=”dashed” connector_color=”#272727″ graphic_icon=”check” graphic_animation=”fadeInDown” connector_animation=”fadeIn”]MEASURE AND COMMUNICATE: Define how, when and how often you will measure each goal. The more often a goal is measured and talked about, the more value and importance people tend to assume the goals has. Conversely, the less often you measure and communicate about a goal, the less important people assume the goals is. Celebrate small accomplishments and milestones along the way to achieving bigger goals.[/x_feature_box][x_feature_box title=” Feedback” title_color=”” text_color=”” graphic=”icon” graphic_size=”45px” graphic_shape=”badge” graphic_color=”#db5842″ graphic_bg_color=”#4293db” align_h=”left” align_v=”top” side_graphic_spacing=”20px” max_width=”none” child=”true” connector_width=”1px” connector_style=”dashed” connector_color=”#272727″ graphic_icon=”check” graphic_animation=”fadeInDown” connector_animation=”fadeIn”]FEEDBACK: Ask for frequent feedback about progress toward achieving each goal.
