Are You Setting the Wrong Goals?
If you have been in business any length of time you have no doubt heard
of goal setting. Chances are, you also practice goal setting in one
form or another. That's good! Goal setting is the most robustly
reliable method of motivation in existence.
But are you and your organization really getting all you can out of your
goals? Recent developments in goal setting research show that
traditional "outcome" goals may not be appropriate in today's high-
complexity environment. Today I will show you how traditional goals may

Learning and Doing: Managing the Conflict
Learning, as we discussed last time, can help us perform better.
However, every hour we spend learning takes time away from production.
Abe Lincoln said that if he had eight hours to chop down a tree, he
would spend six of them sharpening his axe. Nice story, but is that
realistic?
Today's talk will focus on identifying the conflict between learning and
doing. What is the right amount of planning and strategy development?
How can you prevent paralysis by analysis? How can you make sure that
what you and your employees are learning is relevant?
