Setting and achieving Goals

Sustaining peak performance in today's environment requires a commitment to developing leaders throughout the organization.

An important part of this development process includes helping people set--and achieve--meaningful goals for personal change. All too often, however, goals are not set in a way that helps ensure the follow-through needed to turn great plans into successful outcomes.
In "Helping People achieve Their Goals" Marshall Goldsmith and Kelly Goldsmith offer reasons explaining why people give up on goals, offering some insight to help you apply a little preventive medicine as you help others set goals--so ultimately they will be more likely to achieve their objectives for change.
