SMART Objective Setting for Managers by Irial O'Farrell
The annual cycle of objective setting often instills dread in both managers and employees alike as they grapple with designing objectives that will help the individual develop, deepen the team’s capability and deliver the organization’s objectives. Layer on the SMART framework and it can feel like a lot of box-ticking.
But what if you could design SMART objectives that make a real difference to your team’s performance? SMART Objective Setting for Managers is written by a manager for a manager. This book:
– explains the challenges with using SMART with another person
– articulates the different objective types and when to use them
– outlines how to identify objective drivers and aligning people’s motivations to them
– provides a framework for preparing for and structuring objective setting meetings
– examines both the employee’s and the manager’s mindsets
