What is driving this historical moment in time where tens of millions of people have quit or are thinking about quitting their jobs in search of something new? The standard aspects of a job like career advancement, compensation, and benefits play a role, but it’s the human aspects of work (or more accurately, the lack thereof) that seem to be pushing people over the edge.

A recent article published by McKinsey & Company in September 2021 reported that because of the isolation, uncertainty, and change brought about by the pandemic, employees are craving a human investment in the workplace. Download e-book and discover what people want.

Are Your SMART Goals Smart Enough?

‘Tis the season for strategic planning! Whether your organization fared well or not during the pandemic, this is the perfect time to dust off your plan and check if your goals are still relevant. Or is it time for a whole new set of goals as you navigate the post-pandemic landscape? 

In our 20+ years of experience helping organizations create strategic plans, we have found these four tips essential in creating and achieving any goal. 

  1. Test assumptions. People have different perspectives. While vetting out goals, you often hear assumptions such as “Isn’t everyone clear about our mission or values?” or “Shouldn’t they know THAT by now?” Whenever you hear assumptions, challenge the belief and start asking open, non-judgemental questions such as “That is a fair point, what evidence shows us that it is true?” Not only will people gain clarity, but you may discover valuable gems to refine a goal or strategy in your plan.
  1. Plan for dialogue. Allow ample time for open dialogue so that healthy debate can thrive. Schedule dialogue sessions at different levels of your organization as you seek feedback or do research related to a goal.  
  2. Practice discipline. Although important to your organization’s success, goal setting and strategic planning can easily take a back seat to urgent tasks. Identify a strategic planning champion(s) to hold the team accountable to the plan. Write down and communicate a well-defined strategic planning schedule complete with steps/phases, dates, and deliverables. Discipline is the key to a successful implementation.
  3. Have a communication plan. Once you set your goals, strategies, and action plans, create an internal marketing and communication plan. This plan should answer questions such as:
    a) How will you communicate the strategic plan within your organization digitally, visually, and verbally?
    b) How much detail will you share about your strategic plan with the whole organization? Will you communicate just the goal statements? If so, is there enough information in the message to spark excitement and motivate people?
    c) How will you make your organization’s goals memorable to all team members?

Recognize that not everyone on your team will fully understand the context of your organization’s goals. Therefore, carve out time upfront to test assumptions and engage in open dialogue. Remember to plan for successful implementation with discipline, accountability, and communication so that everyone can get excited about their role in making success happen!

Take Your Training to the Next Level

Do you want to lead your organization along the path to build truly cohesive, high-performing teams? You are not the only one.  

According to a survey conducted by Wiley Publishing,

  • 71% of respondents said they have been on teams where a lack of trust created a toxic work environment.  
  • And, 42% of respondents reported having left a job because of a bad team member.  
  • Yet, 99% of the people surveyed said that they were good team members. 

The recent State of Team Report conducted by Wiley Publishing, shows us that teaming becomes even more critical in today’s virtual work environment as 29% of people stated they are not confident that they will feel personally connected as they work remotely and 22% of people stated they were not confident that their teams could maintain the same performance levels virtually.  Download the State of Team Report.

What is the disconnect?  As a leader, you cannot assume people know how to be good team players.  Nor that they are trying to be a better one.  Teaming is an overlooked skill that needs to be taught and nurtured.  With our Five Behaviors® Facilitator Accreditation, you will gain the confidence and credentials to lead any team through The Five Behaviors® program.  Watch this video for more details.
