Organization leaders
Leaders are mandated to manage organizations. They oversee all departments’ cooperation to ensure they stay focused on the organization’s set goals. Besides, leaders are involved in planning and developing the goals of the organizations. They should have a clear focus on the achievement of the organizations’ objectives. Therefore, organizations should set specific goals that guide their leaders and employees because the right goals are crucial to organizations’ successful planning.
When organizations are setting their goals, they have to be specific about what they want to achieve. According to Robbins, the first question you should ask yourself is, what results do you want? (00:00:19-00:00:22). Organizations must first know what they want to achieve before setting their goals. Moreover, they should have a specific target they desire to achieve. The activities organizations want to do to achieve their set goal should not be the focus. Robbins says that you have to aim at the set goals, not the activities because they can change (00:00:26-00:00:27). There are so many activities organizations can do, but only the activities that lead to specific goals are important. Besides, when organizations know what they aim to achieve, they can determine the activities that can gear them towards achieving their desired results. Therefore, organizations must know what they specifically want for them to set realistic goals.
Leaders in organizations are the managers and the ultimate guide for the employees. They are responsible for setting the organizations’ goals and ensuring that everyone is working towards achieving the explicitly set goals. Besides, if leaders are focused and follow wrong objectives, they fail their organizations (Doerr 00:00:05-00:00:41). When leaders mislead the organizations, they fail to achieve the desired goal and can easily collapse them. Furthermore, if leaders are focused on achieving the desired result, they can set realistic goals. One should describe their desired results as clearly and precisely as possible because being general will only lead to confusion (Robbins 00:05:39-00:05:46). When leaders do not set specific and clear goals, they become confused and lose focus. Moreover, without specific goals, leaders cannot measure their results or achievements. Therefore, for organizations to set specific and measurable goals, their leaders must be focused on what they want to achieve.
Every organization is set to be successful; otherwise, no one wants a failing business. Goals setting and planning are the key drivers to the road to success. Besides, this goal must be set right to achieve success. According to Doerr, a transforming team combines its passion, ambitions, and purpose to develop a clear and compelling reason for the goals it sets (00:02:54-00:03:14). Leaders must work together with their teams and brainstorm on why they are setting particular goals. In addition, for organizations to be successful, they have to set goals that point them towards the desired success. Objectives are action-oriented, inspiring, and eliminate fuzzy thinking that can lead to failure (Doerr 00:05:16-00:06:20). They set the kind of thinking that encourages and leads to success. Clear, specific, and measurable goals help organizations’ leaders to have a clear mind of what they want to accomplish. Therefore, setting goals and planning right set leaders and organizations for success.
When organizations set their goal, they have to know how they will achieve these goals. Besides, their leaders should establish a plan that shows a step-by-step plan on achieving the desired success. Good results are verifiable and time-bound (Doerr 00:07:01-00:07:23). Leaders should verify their outcome to know how they will achieve their goals and how much. Moreover, they have to set a time limit for the achievement of the intended goals. These goal-settings are vital for success to be realized. Consequently, every goal is powered by objectives and key results (Doerr 00:10:27-00:10:54). Organizations’ successful goals are subject to the right objectives, and the key desired results. Additionally, organizations’ leaders can lead to success if they emphasize working right towards attaining the desired results. Therefore, setting clear goals and planning right can yield to the organization s success.
In conclusion, successful planning is vital in an organization. It involves setting specific and realistic goals that are achievable. Besides, leaders take part in setting goals that lead to the success of organizations. Leaders must ensure that they set goals that are specific, realistic, measurable and time-bound. Moreover, specific goals determine what course of action should be taken towards achieving them. Therefore, the organizations should emphasize having the right plans that can lead to the desired results. Therefore, goal setting is significant to the success of organizations.
