Goals Are a Roadmap to Success

2008-02-11T04:11:00.000-05:00

Goals are this very elusive theory about how to succeed. Or are they? If you have been following this edition of Monday Morning Email for the past six months, you will have seen many comments about goals. In summary, goals work. So why not give it a try?

You have constructed a goals statement. It’s specific. It’s timed. It’s reasonable and attainable. And it’s measurable. Did you share it with someone? Well, consider sharing you goal with someone who will help you be accountable. No, not your spouse, close friend or family member. Share it with someone who won’t let you slide by.

Hugh’s guidelines for SMART goals are:
Specific
Measurable
Accountable
Reasonable
Timed

Write your goals, Believe in you goals. Share your goals. Enjoy your success.

You can join me tomorrow night, February 12, at 8:00 EST for a free leadership training event on setting powerful goals. Go to http://www.leadershipteleseminar.com to register.

LeaderShift

2008-01-04T10:54:00.000-05:00

Joel Barker, the futurist has created a new video called "LeaderShift" which teaches five lessons for leaders in the 21st Century. This is a great resource for companies and non-profits to use with their leaders.

The five lessons the video teaches are:

1. Focus the majority of your efforts on the future.
2. Understand the nature of fundamental change.
3. Appreciate complex systems and how they work.
4. Examine your leadership style to see how it affects producitivity.
5. Create a shared vision to build brdges to the future.

Barker uses bridge-building as a metaaphor to teach leaders today that they need to build bridges of hope, ideas, and opportunities for the future.

Set Clear Team Guidelines to Prevent Conflict

2007-11-27T17:30:00.000-05:00

If you were to test your colleagues on procedure, you might be really surprised. Roberts is a time-tested process. Not everybody has even read a book on the process, but everyone is an expert. Well, that’s not a point you want to argue with your team. I suggest that you write a covenant or set of guidelines for your team. It should have at least 10 points and can be very brief and to-the-point. This is not a legal document. It is just what it is titled – guidelines.

Guidelines that are written by the team are usually respected by the team and upheld by mutual consent without the leader being heavy-handed. Guidelines define what is expected of each person, how the group will operate, how decisions will be made and what happens when unresolved conflict occurs.

This should not be a lengthy process. Give time to constructing this document at the beginning of the project or beginning of a new team. The time spent here will save time and ill will later.

Tools for Leaders: Foundational Tools

2007-11-12T18:12:00.000-05:00

Values, Vision & Mission

On 3x5 index cards, make a list of what you value, group the list by category, subject or some other method and name each group. You can use a large flat surface like a dining room table or countertop. After you finish this exercise reflect on the results. After all this, type the results into a word processing document and print it out. Post is where you can review it for at lease one week.

Next, lest statements about your personal vision for your life, your career or your family. Group those statements in the same way and write a “Vision Statement” in a single, comprehensive, but brief form. This is a “Defining Statement” that describes your primary purpose, your vision for your life. Create a statement about the future and express it in present tense. A vision statement can be expressed in a brief response to a question in an elevator. It describes your purpose as a concept.
A Mission Statement is the application of your vision. Repeat the steps for constructing the vision statement, but do not limit the content. Let the content of this statement describe how you will accomplish your vision.
