Goal Setting
The purpose of the goal-setting conversation is to decide what each employee and department's key accomplishments should be in the coming year.
The goal-setting process, when done well, is one of the most effective tools a supervisor has in leading people and the organization to success.
Goal setting doesn't have to be complicated or feared or confusing!
