Thanks for the comment. Yes, when goals become self-limiting, kind of defeats the purpose.

When goals are set they almost become self-limiting. As a individual or team progress so must the goals. Achievments and goals are to be continually re-examined. This is not a way to under-achieve on purpose. It is a system to analayze and reflect of what is going on around your team.

It alsways baffles me that leaders do not measure progress on goals. They just say them, or write them somewhere and never visit the goals again.

1 team has their goals written down and passed down from the coach and the other is just told them.

I do know that top soccer teams in europe have personal game plans handed to them (printed) each week several days before the game.

It’s already been rendered irrelevant, so instead of tweaking it, I just trashed it. Thanks for inspiring me to get that back out! A written plan helps keep me on track and maybe doing so on a daily basis will help with time management, just like Krista!
