Goals built around a common purpose help teams become more cohesive and collaborative. Goal setting can be challenging, both in terms of identifying and then marking progress. I generally start the year, by bringing the team together for a team meeting to, set collective team goals, by first,
- Reviewing the company goals for the year and then talking through what we would like to have as team goals for the year. Is there any particular learning goals? Are there any metrics we’d like to meet? And so on.
- Each goal is a SMART goal
- Goals are made visible through the organization
- Progress on goals is discussed at team meetings and 1:1 meetings.
- At the end of the year, the goals are reviewed.
