Linkedin Learning – Setting Team and Employee Goals Using SMART Methodology

Employee goals should be driven by the organization’s needs-whether it’s to cut costs, drive revenue, or build skills-and keep employees motivated to succeed. Mike Figliuolo, managing director of thoughtLEADERS, helps you set employee goals that are SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. Using the SMART framework, he shows you how to develop goals that are achievable and appropriate to your employees’ roles.

Mike walks you through bottom-up, zero-based, commit, and stretch goals. He also helps you use goals to change behaviors, build new skills among employees, and make goals actionable with incentives. He concludes with a comprehensive plan for setting and implementing goals, and tips on dealing with challenges such as conflicting goals.
