Goal Setting: 5 Keys to Create The Effective Plan

By on 0

When goal setting, it is imperative that you create a plan to complete your goals. Depending on the nature of the goal, the plan can be short, simple, and to the point. It can also be very long, complex, and require many people and steps to complete. What’s most important is that you have the appropriate plan for your goal.

Goal Setting With An Effective Plan

Although each goal is different and requires different levels of complexity, there are five goal setting keys to create an effective plan regardless of the size of your goal.

Goal Setting - 5 Keys to Create The Effective Plan

1. Create a Clear Picture of the Desired Outcome

The first key when goal setting is to create a clear picture of the desired outcome. Another way of putting it is to “Begin with the end in mind” as Stephen R. Covey would say. When you create a clear picture of the desired outcome, you define what the outcome should be and what success should look in these three terms:

Identify key factors to obtain the desired outcome. For complex goals, there will be many factors that determine success or failure. For small and simple goals, on the other hand, there may only be a few factors that determine success or failure. [Read more…] about Goal Setting: 5 Keys to Create The Effective Plan

3 Actions To Learn Something New Everyday

By on 0

Hi, and welcome to the Leadership Done Right YouTube Channel. There’s a common saying that, “You learn something new everyday.” Many people say that as if it is a proven fact and it is inevitable. However, I believe that learning only takes place if you proactively choose to learn. There are people in the world that fail at the same thing over and over again and yet they approach everything exactly same each time.

They are not learning from their experience when they are repeating it over and over and not changing their actions. Sure, everyone goes through a new experience everyday, but does that mean that they are learning everyday? Not necessarily.

3 Actions to Learn Something New Everyday

Seek Learning By Study and By Faith

To learn something new everyday, it’s important to actively seek learning by study and by faith. There are many ways that you can learn. You can learn from organized education, an online course, audiobooks, or by other means. Regardless of how you seek learning, it’s important to study and have the faith to practice what you are learning.

For example, if you’re going through a math class, do everything you can to learn by studying the material and have faith in yourself that you can learn it. Also, have faith that what you are learning is practical and will be useful in your life.

Having faith that what you are learning, in any aspect, can be put it into action, will help you to learn more in the future.

Three Steps You Can Take To Learn Daily

Now, let’s look at how or where you can begin your learning. So, how can you begin your learning? Well, l like to use these three methods to learn something new each day. [Read more…] about 3 Actions To Learn Something New Everyday

Get to Know Patrick

Podcast Episode #22 — How To Recognize And Change Behavior For The Best Outcome with Patrick CasanovaOur guest today is originally from Tucson, Arizona. As a young man he dabbled in filmmaking and graphic art. It wasn’t until later, in his career at Southwest Gas, that he saw Organizational Development as the route he wanted to pursue. He had already acquired a degree in Psychology and went on to accomplish a Masters of Science in Leadership. At that time with Southwest Gas he held a PHR (Professional in Human Resources) from the Society for Human Resource Management.

The Jump into Organizational Development

His first couple of years in OD was spent traveling around the country acquiring certifications. He received certifications to train everything from typological tools, such as Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, to Situational Leadership, Kepner-Tregoe and half a dozen Franklin Covey courses and more. Next week, he will be on to his 19th certification in Change Management with Prosci.

Early Retirement

Patrick took early retirement from Southwest Gas to accomplish life goals. He lived for a short while in the South of France and continues to explore various countries that fascinate him. After three years away, Southwest Gas called to enlist him as a consultant. He currently assists the Organizational Development Department and the Project Management Office.

How I met Patrick

I had the privilege of attending several of his classes and have learned a lot from him about leadership and organizational development. He really knows his stuff! Our guest today is Patrick Casanova. Patrick, welcome to the Leadership Done Right Podcast.

How To Recognize And Change Behavior For The Best Outcome

Sometimes I talk about leadership in a typology because it helps people understand. For example, DiCS explains, “D-Direct, I-Cheerleader, S-supportive, C-Fact focused.” Coming up in leadership I realized I had to change behavior. Being an abstract thinker and working with a lot of engineers that are more of your C’s, I had to change behavior to better relate to people. Check out How to Change With The Right Mindset.

Get to Know Tal!

Tal is a Customer Service and Leadership Trainer with more than 20 years of hospitality operations experience.

He is continually adding value to create sustainable results by creating a culture of excellence as a competitive advantage.

Personal Development is a Key to Success

In an environment where leadership skills were not readily taught, Tal decided that if he was going to be a great leader he had to take matters into his own hands. He realized that personal development is the key to success so he began reading many books, experimenting with what he was learning, and attending conferences and seminars to learn additional leadership skills.

In his personal development journey, he did a lot of internal reflection by asking questions like, “Who do I want to be as a leader?”, “What kind of a leader do I want to be?”, and “How do I want others to see me?”. When he asked these questions it was a turning point in his life because he took responsibility for his own growth and leadership development.
