Manager Tools Resources
Although I have mentioned the Manager-Tools podcast multiple times, I have not referenced them in a while. However, this week, I listened to 3 very timely casts on how to set annual goals. Both Mark and Michael do a great job outlining the area's to focus on when identifying goals, and really concentrate on measurable and time bound goals. They also give us food for thought around soft goals and strategies, and although this is a long series, there are quite a few topics that will help us identify, measure and meet our annual goals.
Here are the links to each annual goal post which include a podcast in each link.
How to set annual goals: Part 1 of 3
If you are in a managerial role and have not visited Manager-Tools, I encourage you to do so. There is a tremendous amount of rich content here. They cover topics from giving and receiving Feed-Back to Body-Odor. They also give many great examples and strategies that deal with difficult situations, and it is refreshing to listen to others talk about how they have dealt with these situations.
