Foundations of Executive Coaching: Impactful goal-setting
Executives are often under pressure to deliver bold results. To do so, leaders must set goals that guide strategic decision-making and align organization-wide efforts to achieve impactful outcomes.
Vistage Master Chair Tom Cuthbert believes an effective goal-setting process that leads to success includes six core elements:
- Working on goals with peers.
- Making goals visible.
- Creating an environment of accountability.
- Celebrating wins.
- Emphasizing the momentary impact of goals.
- Valuing trajectory over achievement.
“Having a community of peers around you that are working on similar issues makes a big difference,” he said. “Leaders need accountability and our community delivers that.”
Here, Cuthbert explains how he approaches goal setting with members to create achievable, powerful goals.
