Performance Objectives That Work

Securing emotional engagement and commitment

Performance Objectives that Work goes beyond the process of SMART to illustrate the importance of gaining not only agreement but emotional engagement too. The video illustrates how to achieve objectives through both intellectual and emotional engagement

Summary of learning messages

• Objectives are not the same as goals, aims or aspirations
  An objective is a clearly defined, measurable outcome achieved within a stated time frame

• Perfectly constructed objectives are useless unless they are achieved
  The level of engagement and commitment define the success or failure of performance objectives

• You need emotional as well as intellectual commitment
  Agreement alone is not enough; you need genuine desire too.
