Hey, we've got a tradition here at Manager Tools of releasing our setting goals podcasts

over the holidays.

If your company has yet to start this process, please trust me when I say, do not wait for

them to start begin now yourself.

As this is a re-release, you'll hear Mike right after I'm done queue up today's cast.

This week, you'll again hear Mark and Mike as they talk you through a Sumpftive goal setting.

Go to stretch yourself, your team, your organization through the setting of goals.

Welcome to Manager Tools.

Today's topic, Assumpftive goal setting.

Here we go.

Surely we've spent some time talking about the importance of goals in the past, right?

I mean, I hope so.

We've done this for a while.

They're big.

But it's really funny how many people don't want to have to set goals, yet they expect

all sorts of public-evisible people and organizations and institutions to do just that, right?

And we expect a government to live within their means, which of course requires goals and

planning and things like that.

We expect our teams to win, which surely they would not do if they weren't setting goals

of winning, right?

We expect our companies to meet their budget so we can get our raises and all the kind of

and get the budget we like every year and perform as they say they will.
