Your Managerial Goal Setting- A Worksheet for Prioritizing
Why Goal Setting Matters
A goal-setting study sponsored by the Ford Foundation found that:
- 23% of the population has NO IDEA what they want from life & as a result, they float around aimlessly.
- 67% of the population has a general idea of what they want but donโt have any plans for getting it.
- Only 10% of the population has specific, well-defined goals, but even then, 7 out of 10 of those people reach their goals only half (50%) of the time.
- The top 3% of the people in the study achieved their goals 89% of the time.
- What was the difference? They found that of all the possible variables, the only difference between the top performers and the rest was that the top 3% WROTE DOWN THEIR GOALS.
