Goal setting
Question # 1
When does goal setting work?
When people set goals for themselves,
healthy things usually happen.
Daniel H. Pink: Drive, p. 50.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1065405301
Nadim Matta found that huge amounts of talent and resources in
developing countries were being devoted to developing top-
down solutions for agricultural productivity, clean water,
maternal health, and other areas.
So instead of experts and officials shaping solutions and giving
them to the recipients, Nadim Matta worked with local leaders
to challenge the ultimate recipients to come up with their own
solutions in 100 days or less, and to use the experts,
government officials, and aid workers as resources.
https://hbr.org/2010/09/dont-let-your-next-crisis-go-t.html
https://hbr.org/2012/12/in-a-change-effort-start-with.html
When people are committed to a goal,
they will seek responsibility.
Douglas Mcgregor’s theory Y.
Daniel H. Pink: Drive, p. 195. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1065405301

Locke’s goalsetting theory.
http://www.jblearning.com/samples/076373473X/3473X_CH02_4759.pdf
By establishing goals, individuals are motivated
to take action to achieve those goals.
It works to break goals into small, concrete steps.
https://hbr.org/video/4681126964001/break-your-big-goals-into-small-steps
People will be motivated to pursue the achievement of
a desired goal if
1. they believe in the worth of the goal, and
2. they believe that their actions will ensure
the attainment of the goal.
Vrooms expectancy theory.
http://krepublishers.com/06-Special%20Volume-Journal/S-T%20&%20T-00-Special%20Volumes/T%20&%20T-SV-01-
Africa-Web/T%20&%20T-SV-01-06-053-07-Iguisi-Osarumwense/T%20&%20T-SI-06-053-07-Iguisi-O-Tt.pdf
When you set goals for yourself, it works to
set goals that build on your strengths
– skills that you already now master.
https://hbr.org/2014/12/make-your-work-resolutions-stick
Adapted from
https://hbr.org/2014/12/make-your-work-resolutions-stick
Share your goals with people you trust / love.
Ask them for support and encouragement when
you need it.
Setting goals is an effective method
to track achievement.
http://www.strategy-business.com/re/recentresearch/re00064
Question # 2
When does goal setting not work?
When goals are set by others, it can have
dangerous side effects.
Examples:
 Standardized test scores.
 Sales targets.
 Quarterly returns.
Daniel H. Pink: Drive, p. 50.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1065405301
Too much emphasis on performance goals may
encourage unethical or unnecessarily
risky behavior.
http://www.strategy-business.com/re/recentresearch/re00064
Sears set sales goals for its auto repair staff of
USD 147 per hour. This goal prompted staff to
overcharge for work and to complete
unnecessary repairs.
http://www.hbs.edu/research/pdf/09-083.pdf
Goals may promote competition rather
than cooperation and ultimately lower
overall performance.
http://www.hbs.edu/research/pdf/09-083.pdf
Goal setting increases extrinsic motivation. However,
goal setting can harm intrinsic motivation – by
engaging people in a task for its own sake.
http://www.hbs.edu/research/pdf/09-083.pdf
Studies show that to think and produce creatively, people
must forget about pleasing an audience, or pleasing critics,
or winning prizes, or earning royalties. All such thoughts
stifle creativity.
Instead they must focus fully on the product they are trying
to create, as if creating it for its own sake.
