I keep reading “goal-setting” as “goat-setting”. So I have resolved that this year:
- I will talk about my goats with my manager
- I will fully commit to my goats
- I will ask my colleagues to help me with my goats, and to hold me accountable for my goats
- my goats will contribute to my personal and professional development
- I will not give myself unreasonable or unattainable goats
- I will have a manageable number of goats
- at least 2 of my goats will be aligned with the company’s OKRs
Important addition:
- I will help my colleagues to meet their own goats
@angusm I eagerly await your assistance in meating my own goats.
@angusm Also, you are now internet-famous in my company’s Slack.
@angusm Thanks Angus, that has turned out to be transmissible. I am now reevaluating my goats for Q1.
@angusm also, make sure your goats are SMART, i.e., specific, measurable, attainable, reasonable and time-bound. Last thing you need is an unknown goat that is always running away from you.
