Weekly Smile?

An old magician was working the Titanic on it's last fateful voyage.

 

The old timer had been down on his luck and couldn't afford one of those leggy blonde assistants.

 

On the Titanic he had to make do with a parrot, but to give it credit the parrot had developed repartee and would squawk to the audience: "It's up his sleeve"

 

or

 

"It's under his cloak folks".


They were half way through their act when the Titanic hit the iceberg and sank. The magician swam all night while the parrot fluttered overhead.

 

He swam all next day and the parrot still fluttered overhead. It was evening of the second day when the parrot finally alighted on the magician's head.

 

"Okay I give up. What have you done with the bloody ship?!"

SMART Goals:

Goal setting  provides a framework for productivity, satisfaction, and contribution. The magic of goal setting happens when the art and the science come together in SMART goals that are specific and measurable, motivating, attainable, relevant and trackable.

 

Specific and Measurable: goals establish a clear end result. They qualify or quantify so that there is no room for misunderstanding. 

 

Motivating: Acknowledging the motivation underlying the goal is the art of goal setting. Are you intrinsically or extrinsically motivated by the goal? A goal must be captivating and emotionally compelling if sustained performance is expected.

 

Attainable: How do you know if your goal is attainable? Don't set standards simply based on opinion or conjecture. Study past performances of your own as well as others, industry averages, relevant data, and other indicators to see if your goal is realistic.

 

Relevant: Goals can be linked to your organization's mission or your own personal mission, values, and key responsibility areas.

 

Trackable: Goals can be monitored to ensure progress.

 

 

-------------------

 


Remember: People with goals succeed because they know where they are going.
