what i think about management goals:
I want to step outside the stories for a couple of days and talk about a few things we are doing..
Over the years we have been working on an interactive platform that kicks off today. Those of you from management know about the research of Elliott Jaques. His concepts of Requisite Organization will be the cornerstone of this new platform. Today, a group jumps in with both feet.
We start with Goals. Everything we do, as a person, is goal directed behavior. Our daily lives are filled with "what by whens." Sometimes we are aware of our goals, sometimes our goals are so routine that we don't even notice. Yet our days are full of goals.
Some goals are noble, some not so noble. Some goals are driven by needs, some driven by desire, some driven by avoidance.
And there are times, plenty of times, when we are most definitely aware of our goals. We think about them, share them with others, change them, write them down and achieve them. Everything we do starts with a goal.
