1. Setting Goals for 2021 without
stressing coworkers out!

2. Goals are one of the most valuable tool we
have in our management toolbox.
When set thoughtfully, goals provide focus,
boundaries, alignment, clarity, and a sense of
security and purpose for employees.

3. Goals should never be punitive as you suggest
but instead, be presented as a map for
working, something that minimizes confusion,
encourages collaboration, and makes
everyone’s jobs easier.

4. Working in a group demands clear goals and a
feeling of connection. Well defined goals
encourage collaboration, community-building,
and self-directed accountability, leading to
better performance overall.

5. First Approach
Let your employees be a part of the process
When it comes down to the actual act of writing
goals, keep in mind the SMART framework: make
them Specific, Measurable, Actionable or Achievable,
Relevant or Realistic, and Time-bound.

6. And if your company follows the OKR system, make
sure you’re setting objectives (O) on the basis of what
end result you want to accomplish, and key results
(KRs) describe the tasks and outcomes that need to
happen to achieve the objective.
Share these tips with your team if they're getting
hung up on how to get started with writing.

7. Second Approach
Know that nothing is forever
Communicate your openness to being adaptable and
shifting focus to both your team members and your
own manager.

8. The goals you set together now are simply your best
guesses for what to do with the information you
currently have; they’re the best you can do. They are
not fixed and should be updated and change when
and if realities change.

9. You may even want to consider setting goals quarterly
instead of annually to make them more timely and
manageable.

10. Important!
Goals are a benchmark and a guide, part of an
ongoing dialogue between you and your employees.
If you communicate and check in regularly; you’ll
soon see the goals system you dreaded is actually
helping them thrive.
